Kind of a general question about a common scenario @ mid blinds.

Villain is your typical loose passive unknown fish, the 30/0 type

(50/100 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

CO: 1,390 (13.9 bb)
BTN: 1,650 (16.5 bb)
SB: 1,505 (15.1 bb)
BB: 1,020 (10.2 bb)
UTG+1: 2,020 (20.2 bb)
Hero (UTG+2): 1,480 (14.8 bb)
MP1: 1,610 (16.1 bb)
MP2: 1,230 (12.3 bb)
MP3: 1,595 (16 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Q A
UTG+1 calls 100, Hero ?

So I guess folding is out of the question, but what's your line here?
Pushing seems a bit overkill w 15 BB, so I guess we'll have to raise. How much do you guys raise here?
Assuming only limper calls, what's your line in, say,

983r -- villain checks
983r -- villain leads smallish
KJ5r -- villain checks

What range are you raising here?
Also, does anyone have a range to isopush instead of raising here?

shove looks fine to me..

Question.
If we raise to 500 and pushing on every flop it could be a good move in this situation?
or
Raise to 275 and if someone 3b or villian donk bet us we can still fold, we can c-bet
if villian check and we left 9-10 BB behind.

Yeah, that's the whole point of the question.
Obv shoving is gonna show a profit, but my thinking was whether it's more +EV to raise against this people who love to limp/call and fold tons postflop.
