This.
Your minimum continuing range from the BB is determined by Villain's bet size.
Get VERY familiar with the equation { bet to you }/{ total amount someone will win if you call }.
This is most commonly expressed in poker as bet/(bet + pot). KNOW THIS. Memorize the common instances of this equation. Here's a start:
Hero is BB, Villain is SB, HU:
Villain limps: 0/(0 + 2) = 0%
Hero continues with 100% range.
Villain min-raises: 1/(1 + 3) = 25%
Hero continues with at least 75% range.
Villain raises to 2.5bb: 1.5/(1.5 + 3.5) = 30%
Hero continues with at least 70% range.
Villain raises to 3bb: 2/(2 + 4) = 33%
Hero continues with at least 67% range.
I am out of time, and must leave for work.... I have a sneaking suspicion that I took this from the wrong perspective... the math is probably good, but maybe taking it from Hero's perspective is bad... someone before me took it from Villain's perspective, I think...
Gotta go. I'll check back on this, though.
