What kind of scoring is it ?
Anyway, i would DBL and pass (uncomfortably) whatever pd bids at 3 level. 3NT is an option, but i chose the low path with Axx ♣ and 4333 shape. Even if pd has 8-9 hcps it wont be a picnic walk to make 3 NT, since we wrong sided the contract (if there was a right side )

If partner is 4-4 in the majors, I think he should insist on playing in a major, and I can't see anything good about that. Even if partner has a five-card major, 3NT will often be better, or just as good.

EDIT: rethot JLALL's X and 3NT presummably he is trying to show a hand stronger than a direct 3NT call. For me this hand does not qualify as I would need 19+.

No, i am pretty confident that this was not his reason at all. I would bid just like he did in imps and stick to my original reply in mp.

A direct 3NT has something going for it, also, as X...3NT sounds like 4-3 majors and partner picked wrong, which is bad if partner has 4-4 majors and bids 3♠...4♥.
I still don't know which I would do at the real table.
