Partner's jump might indicate he has a really good hand, or he might just have a really good fit. You certainly don't have the strength to make another move so you pass.
A good thing, too. Partner might get lucky and make this but it looks like the other guys are cold for 4♠. Even if partner loses 2 tricks and goes down 1 it will turn out to be a good sacrifice.
