Eventhough I'm UTG+1, I have position.

I would raise. I generally don't like putting in alot of big bets with one pair but there alot of hands you could be beating here. Hands like Q8 and Q9 could easily bet out on this turn card as well as random hands like 78, 69, any two clubs (possibly with a pair or straight draw). Your hand most likely has an equity range against your opponent and the BB is pretty clearly drawing so that cushions the edge you need to have to raise (because you are getting 2:1 on each raise instead of 1:1).

An important thing to consider is that SB's line is actually a pretty good one for a monster (set / straight) because it traps BB. None the less, I would raise, hate getting 3 bet, but showdown so long as it is 1 bet to me each time after that.

Grunch:

i believe your flop play is correct, but since they are both trapped in the raise and none of them cold called the raise, it's likely that they either have top pair, and it's likely that BB has a straight draw, or a flush draw and he has the odds to call.. i believe you should raise the turn, it's true that if they have any decent draw they have the odds to call, so the only thing that you can do is to try to build the pot, also, raising the turn will probably also give you more info, since anyone with a straight will probably reraise to protect from the flush draw

but i'm still pretty torn between raising and calling, not 100% sure on this hand

I would raise (and fold to a 3-bet)......
