Well, since he is passive and doesn't have the As, I would raise the turn even though UTG may have the flush. I just wouldn't want to give a cheap river to 3 opponents who may have cards between them that could come to beat me. Plus, you probably won't get much action on the river if you make a flush so it's better to raise now.

Actually, I would have raised the flop here since it's a big pot and you figure to have the best hand. Sure UTG could have 44 but that's a distant thought in my mind when I see him donk here, despite the read. I know that you can't protect your hand much with a flop raise, but I'd rather collect 2 bets from everyone than just one, and there is no guarantee UTG will continue to bet the turn.

So calling the flop with the intention of raising the turn I think is ok if you think you can raise the turn. But here I'd rather not take the risk of having the turn checked to me so I would raise the flop. I'm definitely open to hearing arguments for just calling though.
