JJ in a straddled pot EP with 65 effective bb

1/3/6. Friday night. 8-handed.
Hero saw JJ at UTG+1. With the straddle, h opened big to 22 (standard open was about 15), because h wanted to charge SB (75% VPIP) and UTG (also loose) and played IP against them.
Villain at my direct left 3! to 65.
All others folded.
Hero was the effective stack with about 385.
Hero?

Additional info:
All players at this table are between 20-30 years old. Villain was clearly the youngest who is still in uni.
AQo and TT+ are in everyone's 3! range.
Villain had a 3-street bluff earlier and was caught.

Call or raise all in are fine

It's JJ. No matter what you do, it'll be wrong.

We're OOP against an aggro V. I think we can probably just flat call, and sigh-fold if the flop comes out with over-cards and he starts blasting off. Just play the hand like we're set-mining pre and bluff-catching post.
