Default Flop low pairs in BB - smooth call or raise flop?

Hello there,

this hand is from a PS 4/180.
I had just been moved to a new table. In hind-sight I'm leaning towards betting the flop for value and information - am I up against a set? But with such a dry board I didn't think a call was bad at the time.

Is a flop call terrible? How about the turn?

thanks,
venz

Button (t2955)

Hero (t5635)
UTG (t1253)

MP1 (t3975)
MP2 (t3270)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
