Raise it to what it should be with inflation. Not more not less.
According to wikipedia that would be (in 2021) about 12.47% and a little more than that considering inflation in the last two years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_States

It's interesting that inflation has been about 1000% in 60 years.

$20 seems a bit high, but something more like $17.50 would be reasonable.

It's all moot, I don't see it going up from the current $7.25 any time soon.
