Typical duplicate hand. Nearly all results are different, partly dependent on how aggresive the bidding is.
With E/W NV versus West may bid an aggresive 2♥ (not those who keep to - 'it must be 6+ for a weak 2'). Those who bid the old Lucas 2s (5+M and a 4+m) will open 2♥ .
North will overcall 2♠ (off shape for a double).
East would probably have done an enquiry (2NT )gust or feature ask) without the overcall. Now has a difficult choice - 3♥ or 4♥ . In principle his hand is probably stronger than 14HCPS as on left of the overcall, his AQ and KJ(5card suit) suggest more towards 4♥ particularly as it makes it difficult for South.
South has a difficult call over 4♥ and being vulnerable in duplicate will probably pass. Over 3♥ South is likely to bid 3♠ . 3♥ = -1 =-50 or 4♥ -2 = -100
Alternative
Non aggressive West passing.
North will open 1♠ East will overcall 2♦ (shape not right for a double)
South will bid 2♠
West doesn't have a bid.
North cannot encourage so will pass, as will East.
So N/S will score 2♠ making 110 and win versus the the aggressive West which would be only 50 or 100.
