I think reraise or fold would be better than call. And if you don't want to call a tight player's UTG raise, then fold. I don't think it's weak to give up a potentially dominated ace that will cost you a lot OOP when up against AK on an Axx flop, or cost you a lot OOP when up against an overpair on a Qxx flop. Plus, you'll miss the flop 2/3's of the time anyway, so playing OOP in a raised pot knowing that you won't have the initiative, you suspect that you're behind UTG's likely range of hands (or else you'd reraise), and you'll have ace-high 2/3's of the time on the flop make folding preflop seem like the best play.

As played, c/c on the flop, turn, and river seems like the best way to keep worse hands firing, and pay off better hands the least. So, c/c the river.

Another line might be to c/r the flop, and assume you're beaten if he doesn't fold. His range for calling (or raising) a big c/r on this flop would probably have to be much better than TP.
