Double isn't so bad? You will live if p bids 2S, happy in 3 of a minor, and can bid 3NT over p's 3H. If they bid 3H you are quite happy for them to play there doubled. If you pass p may pass too (although I guess he isn't allowed to with short hearts).
PS: Given the vulnerability Pass is certainly a reaonable option.
The meaning of 2NT is partnership depend, some play it as
good-bad / lebensohl, some as scrambling.
