I would pass. I have some sympathy for double, but would never bid 5♥.

Pass but I am revising my standards after looking at a few similar situations recently so I wouldn't be surprised if it is better to act.

Double. Trying to protect the plus score we might have got in 5♥.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Full hand:

Scoring: IMP


So passing 5♦ is -420. Who knows what double brings? There were some -650s and a an equal number of -100s in 5♥x. No table in 21 played at the 6-level.

Opposite myself, it would get -650.
