It seems to me that most people don't play like that, so this is really a bluff a lot of the time. Would it make a difference if the board was completely dry? What if we had Ah9h?
The other option is that opp has a flush draw with something like KcQc and is trying to get us out of the hand. OK, maybe I overstated it by saying it is an easy fold, but in order to call this I would need a read that opp had made a ballsy bluff like this before with weak hands.

I would make a standard raise and hope that he shoves over, or if he calls then pick off his supposed bluff on a favourable flop.
