If my hand were a little different, it would help to know what my agreements are in terms of partner's pass. I suggest that when posting a hand and asking for 'what do you do?' you should give us the information that you had at the time, and knowing what partner's pass showed (presumably either not much at all or a penalty double type of hand) is something that you knew....and we don't.
Having said that, this hand is so bad that I don't see any problem at all: pass.

Any action by partner would put us in a GF. He could double for takeout or bid naturally. If he passes it is less than GF or (rarely) awkward shape or penalty double.
Btw, if the preempt had been 2S am I still passing?

Hopefully if any action creates a GF partner is still willing to stretch to make a call and isn't stuck bidding only on 8 or more points. Hopefully this is not your agreement over 2♠ as well.
I would pass in my methods, in yours I'm more tempted to X (anything else is insane) but I still like pass a little better, maybe +200 will be a good score, and sometimes righty has a good hand too. Over 2♠ this is an auto-X.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.
