Preflop Capper is running 26/9/1.35 - loose but not too bad. I have a little history with him.
The BB cold caller is running 41/12/0.24 82% ShowDown /39% W$@SD over about 70 hands since I've sat down. He is ridiculously loose and likely has cold-called my 3bet with his top 60% of hands, weighted more towards suited hands. I've seen him bluff before (on the turn) when no one else showed interest in a pot. Most of the time he shows down any pair, and I've seen him call down with ace and even king high once.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q , A .
1 folds, UTG+1 raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, 3 folds, BB calls, UTG+1 caps, Hero calls, BB calls.
Flop: (12.50 SB) 7 , J , 2 (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.
Turn: (6.25 BB) 9 (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.
UTG+1 certainly has AK here, probably not with the K of spades. The donk could have any 2 cards and isn't folding. My instinct was to take a freebie.
River: (6.25 BB) 5 (3 players)
BB bets, UTG+1 folds, Hero...?
It's very possible that the donk just hit a pair with that 5. His post-flop aggression factor is so, so low, but after both opponents checked through twice, I could see him bluffing with his hopeless hands. 7:1 is pretty good odds... right?

Why not fire at the pot at the turn? They both don't seem like they have anything.

Fold preflop. An UTG+1 raise is pretty strong, no? What does he open-raise here that you're ahead of with AQ?

My reasoning for checking the turn is that a free card is far more likely to help me than either of them. A turn bet would be a poor semi-bluff, since it's unlikely that both or even one would fold.
From UTG+1's point of view (I will discount the donk, he is oblivious), if I had something, I probably would have bet the flop. If I bet the turn now, the only had I can really rep (that I don't have- ie one big spade) is something like 88.
Folding preflop crossed my mind, but this guy would open raise KQ/AJ/77+ in that position. With position on him I will gladly play him with AQ in this spot.

he's two bets cold outta the bb, this is something i'd respect mildly. What does he have here that's so dear to him? 22+, 45s+.
I fold and think he's gettin in a value bet hoping someone with A high calls, but for 6:1, you might be gettin good odds for a bluff call.

That guy was so loose that cold calling didn't mean anything to him. Results were I called and the BB showed Jc 4c for top pair.
