Reraise on flop. Will help you find out more of where your at and protects your hand.

I agree. You still have the BB left to act behind you. If it were heads up, I would agree with the passive type line with top pair. But with this pot being 3 way you want to push out any draws and find out where you are at right away.

What if BB had cold called behind you? And then villian leads turn again? Then you are in a tough spot.

Raise flop.
