It's not really a squeeze if they all call (not a successful one at least).

Against 2 players still alive I don't like the c-bet. In a re-raised pot with 2 opponents often someone has a K or a high PP here and won't fold. With the flush draw out you might be faced with an AI raise from a draw, too. All while you have just Ace-high.

I'd c/f this.

You should give up on the flop. Also, preflop you didn't re-raise enough. If you are against this many people who are apt to call you should either not run this play (which is a bit results oriented), or better, make at least a pot sized raise here, especially since you are OOP for the rest of the hand.

In this case there is $2.25 in the pot already so you should raise it to around $6.75 ($2.25 to call + $4.50 to raise it pot). If you are going to do this, you should obviously be willing to call a push.

Edit: Oops fixing numbers because I had .5/1 thoughts in my head..
