You are getting direct odds on a call, and by your own thought process you don't have much fold equity. Just call.

I don't play much NL but I would suggest betting more (like $35 to $40) on the flop for the following reasons:
1. Worse flush draws and straight draws will call behind
2. So that you don't fall into the trap of betting small when you whiff and betting big when you hit

I agree with the other poster. Bet $35 flop and then the c-raise would be much more telling
