It's always hard for me to put myself in your position, because the way I would play something is so different than the way you play something, and my image is so much different than yours -- and when someone reraises me preflop it has a different meaning than if they reraise you preflop.
So the way I play this is simple -- I call the additional $26 and play it for set value. And with your image, if you do hit the set I've got to believe that a big pair is going to really pay you off. And that play seems so much like the only possible play that I know that you must have come up with a better line.
If i miss my set I'm probably done with the hand -- but that's because I don't expect to get reraised preflop very often by someone who can't beat JJ. But given your image, if the flop is all low you probably have some post flop options that might get you the pot, even if the guy has QQ or KK.
