3♠ here. My statistic feeling is that pard has some 10-12 with short hearts. That makes 3♠ playable and 3♥ makeable!
Pass could easily be right, though.

This probably depends if I'm in a long match or a short one.
In a short match I'll pass and will feel uncomfortable until the final trick is played. I'll give up the occasional -470 for the frequent +300. I just don't feel like conceding 5 IMPs at the risk of losing 12. Hard to believe its easier to take 10 tricks with this 4-3-3-3 than 5 tricks on defense.
In a long match, it probably depends how things are running, but I might pull to 4♦.
At least I have the LAW on my side.
Oh, 3N doesn't occur to me.
