From an unknown, I would assume the min-raise indicates strength. Furthermore, you're not really in a good spot to do anything about it if he's FOS. Easy fold.

folding=/=passive

Re: Facing flop aggression.....
 

Same hand basically. You are not in a good spot to use his aggression against him. Position is key.

Thats what I thought but I can't just call, I need to raise no?
