I would probably pass over 3♣.
A double would show a 16-17 HCP balanced hand, and would leave the decision for the final contract to partner (but with his cards, minimum 2♥ bid, 4 trumps and 1 trick or less in defense i would certainly bid 3♥ over the double).
let me amend my 1st statement: I would pass at IMPs, but would double at MPs.
What to do with this hand

After this auction I play:
- DBL: penalty
- 3D (only free suit): invite for 4H
- 3H: extra shape, probably 5cH.
