You just scrape 7 points together. With your 4-card Major that's enough for a Negative Double.
So you double and partner jumps to 2♠. What is your bid?

Partner's jump is inviting but it takes more than just a simple jump to get you excited with this junk.
Even though partner has 16-18 points you pass.
