Don’t pay the ransom. Per the FBI:

Contact your local FBI field office and report it to ic3.gov as soon as possible.

When we get a ransomware complaint, we will respond to that. We will contact the victim company and work with them to determine what the best course of action going forward is.

I don’t think that its good decision to paying for Ransom. Asking for payments is one common behavior of Ransomware. Recovering you data would be the best thing you can do I think.
