Min 3bet with AK

[Monster207]

Should I just be calling this 3bet min raise instead of 4 betting? I just hate when villain does this because it takes away my initiative and lets him have control of the pot. The main problem with 4betting a decent amount is that I end up putting in 1/3rd of my stack and since Im going to miss most of the time I end up in a [censored] spot. I'm honestly thinking that a 4bet minraise is the best line but I'd like to hear some other posters thoughts.
