Fold.

Unless there's some reason not to based on information you haven't given us.... but I'd certainly default to thinking we'll find better spots to try to double up than facing an over card and a raise, and see no point in calling off like a fifth of our stack to see the turn.

what is the stake?

easy fold for me.

your chip stack is still good, you dont have a whole lot invested in this pot.
all you have is basically middle pair... and if he hit the king, two pair, or a set... you're basically drawing slim to dead

with your stack size.... you still have more then enough room to manuver. i see no need to get out of line here.

i'd let this one go and wait for a better sport.

I think you should let it go. no reason to risk it this early in the tourny. This still leaves you with pleanty of chips to steal with.
