Default AKs with dry flop

BB has been fairly tight but aggressive when he plays. Not sure how to handle AKs here.
First, should I have four bet preflop? I'm thinking so since I was 60-40 against most 3bet hands, but calling the 3bet seemed reasonable.
Second, post flop shove or fold?

SB ($4)
BB ($15)
UTG ($10)
MP ($10.15)
CO ($9.35)
Hero ($14.40)

Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.3, 1 fold, BB raises to $2.3, Hero calls $2.

Flop: ($4.65) , , (2 players)
BB bets $4, Hero?

If you call pre, you should fold on this board.

Now, is it better to call or 4-bet preflop ? 1st of all, he raised a really solid amount (20 BBs), which is way more than pot size, maybe it's a tell (AA, KK ?), maybe it's his standard 3-bet size from the blinds. Then, if you just call, you won't hit 2/3 of the time and are out of position, so you're gonna lose the pot so often. And if you hit and he has a hand that you beat (JJ, QQ ...), most of the time, you won't get that much action.

So 4-bet !!

Agree with loltrickedu. 4-bet this pre (shove if you don't 4-bet a lot normally) and then just fold this flop if you call preflop.

150bb deep I don't really mind calling a normal 3-bet with AKs in position... but his 3-bet was just really really huge. I'm really not sure what I'd do, but I am more inclined to 4-bet shove than call.

As played I'd fold the flop.
