I think this should be a pure preflop decision, as you have position and can't play a stop'n'go.

So if you think you have some FE I would push preflop, without a read I think this is a fold, calling is worst option imo, as MP1 is too short therefor.

As played I think you have to push. That flop shouldn't have helped him very much and you should have some FE. The pot is quite big already so worth winning.
