I generally check this in the BB against this many opponents. AJo is just not that good against this many opponents. There are two factors that lean towards raising, there is a poster that might fold and AJo is still likely a slight favorite against the remaining 4 players. I think a check is better, but a raise is not a much different for pre-flop decisions. But since you have to be prepared to lay this down with this many opponents, I would rather keep the pot small so I would not raise here.
