How do I calculate the eigenvalues of the positive partial transpose of this two-qubit state?

How can I calculate the eigenvalues of $\rho^{T_{B}}$ (PPT) of the following state $$ \rho =\frac{1}{2}|0\rangle\langle0|\otimes|+\rangle\langle+|+\frac{1}{2}|+\rangle\langle+|\otimes|1\rangle\langle1|...
