I would double, and I would presume that to bid 3S, exploiting the fact  that 
partner would now know that I would have passed over a limit 3H, and  
therefore must have a marginal 3S bid, is not active ethics. I would have  doubled 
even if 3H was limit. You can then pull 4C to 4D and will have suggested  this 
hand.
