The bidding has been as shown. It is your bid. What do you say?

Partner is showing both Minors but you are not interested in either one. Bidding notrump is a possibility but with just a single ♠ stopper is not advisable.
With 18 points and a 6-card suit you jump in the suit.
You bid 3 and partner raises to 4.
