This.
If stacks were deeper, it would be different, but if you just call and no one else calls, which is the worst case, there's $275 in the pot, and you've only got $225 behind. Easy easy shove for value on any turn if he bets, and if not just go $125 leaving your self a lol stack of $100 to shove in on any river.
If anyone else calls then the pot will be $350 or more, so just shove every turn.
It's unlikely that most people will call with a draw for $75, it's a psychological barrier for a lot of people who don't think too much about IO with stack sizes and all that.
I don't think that raising is bad per say, and if you do raise to $150, not more as you don't want to scare him off. But I think there is more value to be had in trying to get 1 other person into the hand and take another ~+$45EV by letting someone else come along.
