Default $16: Overpair facing raise on lousy flop

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 (t1420)
Hero (t1490)
MP2 (t1580)
MP3 (t1540)
CO (t780)
Button (t860)
SB (t1510)
BB (t2820)
UTG (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, MP2 calls t100, MP3 calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t80.

Flop: (t430) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t350</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t940</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero?

Is this an easy fold? My thinking is that this would be a shove if I had a diamond, since at least I'd have outs against a set and a blocker against the ace of diamonds. I generally give $16 unknowns no credit at all early on, but this feels too marginal, am I right?

Calling is fine, IMHO, you're rarely behind to a made flush against slowplaying fish. I think you have to flip with the money in the pot. Occasionally you're dead but sometimes you are also not even up against a flush draw.

you only need to be good about 1/3 of the time, so call is probably best. i'm guessing you win this about 40% of the time.

yeah just get it all in I think. It's not the worst thing racing off your chips vs. a probably 12 outer or more.
