Well, it's a little bit of a gamble. There's practically no hand he could conceivably hold that you're any better than a coinflip over, unless he's re-raising all-in on a total bluff, while there's some where you could be a decent-sized underdog. 
 
Given his raise, the hands that seem conceivable are: set of 9s or 7s, overpair, or 2 spade overcards.
 
If he made any set you're about a 70/30 dog.
If he has an overpair, (most likely hand) you're at a coinflip.
If he has 2 spade overcards, you're at a coinflip (at most, you're ahead by 3%-4%).
 
Given that I know I'm not significantly ahead of anything, I don't know how I feel about the raise on the flop. You do have fold equity, so maybe it's a good move. But a lot of people will bet their set there, since otherwise they have to give a free card with 2 spades on board, and they'd get no money in the pot for that round by checking, so I couldn't rule the set out. Plus I know if he pushes back on my raise, I end up in this situation that I don't feel all that great about.
