Default Playing TP on a scary flop from early position

KJs on a flop of 9TJc, no PFR, let's say 4 limpers... my instinct is to initially play this aggressively since it's more likely that someone flopped 4 to the flush/straight than it is that someone flopped all 5. Of course, it might be difficult to price out someone who flopped a straight+flush draw+overcard(s) here. What's a good general approach to this type of situation?

me=weak tight occusionally, so in that case I fold here. You are risking to much with a hand that is so easily beat its not even funny. I check fold.

check/fold. The best you can hope if you bet is that you take the pot down now. If you get called you are in a world of pain

this flop also fits nicely with some 2 pair hands as well - JT, J9, T9 - you need to tread carefully here. I probably check in EP and reevaluate based on the betting behind me. You will see where your hand stands pretty quickly I think because the 2 pair hands should play aggressively as well to protect against the str8 draws. You could easily have the worse hand here.
