The bidding has been as shown. What do you bid?

With 4-card support you respond 2♠. Partner raises to 3♠.
What do you say next?

Partner's bid is an invitation. You have told him you have 6-10 points and he probably has about 17-18. If you are at the high end of your 6-10 he wants you to bid game, at the low end he wants you to pass.
You actually have 10, definitely high end, so you bid 4♠.
