Double seems right.

 

3 would have shown limit raise plus, 3 shows and values with presumably tolerance for s.

 

So 3 shows some competitive values and a fit, but what? Since responder isn't marked with a lot, I don't think double at this point is mandating that they defend. Rather I think it's more informatory that the responder's "constructive" values include some defense.

 

It's important for responder to tell opener this because opener's 4 bid is somewhat ambiguous. Responder can't know whether opener's 4 was pushing to a thin game, bidding to make, or bidding on with a monster. Double simply tells responder's story and leaves the decision to opener.

 

If instead of 3 , responder had bid 3 showing values, a double in this situation would demand defending.
