Not sure I agree with gravycakes. More people gives you better odds for the flush, but also greatly increases the odds that you're against a competing draw. Any player acting after you is going to be getting odds on a higher draw if you flat call, and will call themselves. Furthermore, anyone with a hand behind you will be raising (sounds like it'd be a shove by whoever is behind you, especially since it's the shortstack that made the initial bet). I'd prefer to push. You might lose some odds by someone acting behind you laying an A, but even then, they might still call. Pushing, on the other hand, will almost certainly get rid of competing draws, which will leave you isolated in a race against the shortie with plenty of dead money in the pot. Finally, you may even get fold equity from the shortstack (doesn't sound like it, but you didn't specify his chip count).
