flopped a set with 3 people in the pot, raise or cold call?
Ok, some background on the hand. I had been at the table for a while. I had about a 35 hand sample on Villain. He is 38/10. With a hand he sometimes is willing to gamble. In a previous hand I had raised and gotten 2 callers. I c-bet the flop and got called. I fired a second barrel and it was folded to Villain. He said, "What the hell I will gamble." and went all in ( it was only a couple more dollars over my bet). He turned over 77 against a K 9 3 6 board. He took a lot of money from me on that hand.
UTG is pretty fishy. In about 70 hands he is 29/0. He seems to call a lot and when seeing the flop his seen showdown % is 25.

UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $3, Hero ......................
So here is the questions. I have the best hand now but it is possible that a flush could fall on the turn. I can see both of these players calling my raise with suited connectors maybe. This is only from their large vpip number, I have not seen any hands when they call a preflop raise so maybe that indicator is not so good. UTG+1 has a decent pf raise % so he probably has a decent hand. Should I raise trying to draw out a flush draw? Should I cold call to try to build the pot up? Remember UTG still has to act after my action.
