Hi

You shouldn't raise here for protection. Since your hand is medium-strength, just call.

Raising a made hand for value with the intention of folding to a 3-bet is almost always a bad idea, unless you are 100% positive that
1. He calls with a ton of worse
2. He never 3-bets worse

You don't have any of these reads.
