Minraising when the 3rd of a suit comes on the board screams flush. I would have just called and then let them lead out betting on the river and raise them then.

even if it screams flush, not many people can get away from a minraise. its a good way to get more money in the pot. minraise + 1/3 pot bet on river is a fine line here.
