Pass. Game is likely to be marginal at best (especially as partner may be friskier non-vulnerable) and MPS scoring doesn't reward marginal games. It's true that you may play in a 5:2 fit rather than a 5:3 but this may not be a bad thing at this form of scoring.

The only other bid which makes sense to me is 2NT as a natural game try (not if 2NT would have been asking partner to pick his minor: hopefully, you play 2N as natural and 3C as pass or correct)
