Your move:
The math
Correct: Call
Top pair top kicker is too strong to fold to a single raise on a dry board, and 3-betting bloats the pot against a polarised range that has you crushed when called. Calling keeps villain's bluffs in the pot and protects against the times you are good. Re-evaluate on the turn.
