The correct answer is pass. Though it's a good
idea to overcall a strong four-card suit at the one
level, doing it with a stack in the opener's suit
can easily backfire. Here the overcall got West
to 4 doubled, down four, when the opponents'
4 contract had zero play.

Switch West's suits around and make his hand:

K Q J 10
J 6 5
3
A 10 9 8 2

Now 4 is a great contract and 4 is laydown in
the other direction.
