Pass.
Depends of course on the meaning of
a 2S call instead of the 2H call.
With kind regards

If not a regular partner I pass
If I know he has 4-4 in the majors for sure I prefer to play in 2♠ because I prefer slow trump tricks than on the side-suit

There's no inherent quality about this hand that lends itself to any call but pass. Partner would bid this way, for instance, with xxxx xxxxx x xxx.

Assuming that 2♥ is bid with all major shapes (44, 45, 54, 55), Michael Rosenberg recommended (during vugraph) bidding 2♠ on all hands except those with 2 spades and 3 hearts.
Unfortunately he did not have sufficient time to elaborate.

One plausible reason is for when partner has a weak 3415 pattern, if that is allowed. In that event, complete 2♠ because you like clubs.

Can't partner have a 4-3-1-5 with a problem?

One reason is that with this strategy partner may now bid 2NT with 34xx and an almost-invitational hand. I've seen a top French pair bid like this.
1NT - 2♣
2♦ - 2♥
2♠ - 2NT
Pass

Pass. P could be 4-5 but not 5-4.
