Do you respond with this 5HCP hand?

♠7652
♥953
♦K87
♣Q74
Edit: bidding goes 1C (P) ?
On the plus side you do have 4 Spades but on the negative side they're pretty anemic and it is a 4333 hand.
I know its a bidders game but is this pushing it too far?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Since u didnt tell which suit pd opened with...
I bid 1 ♠ over a minor
I show my support if pd opens 1♥
I show my support over 1♠
I pass over 1NT
I will not go over 2 level openings...

If you are playing Acol with a weak no trump it would be silly to pass 1♣, for instance, because partner will often have a strong no trump.

I'm less likely to pass playing K/S, as I don't particularly mind 1NT next, and that's much more likely than 2NT.
Yes, 1♣ will play worse than spades, but I'll have to play 2♠, and that's if we have spades.

1♠ has merits of course. It makes it more difficult for oops to bid 4♥. But I don't think it's worth it. We will get overboard too often.
