Semi-bluffing on a paired board into a multiway field.

Live 5/5 NL. Both UTG+1 and I are $2000 deep.

UTG limps, UTG+1 raises to $35, I call in LP with T8c. SB, BB, and UTG call.

Checked to UTG+1 who bets $35. I make it $135.

I definitely don't like this play as much if the board is more coordinated such as QQA/QQK/QQJ, but right now the only hand that has me in poor shape is 77. Plan was to check behind on the turn if I miss.

As played, it was folded around to UTG+1 who makes it $210 total. He min-raised me. Obviously a fairly standard call, and he 77 is never in this guys EP raising range.

Do people like a raise or a call more?

I probably just call but raising can't be terrible, depends on reads.
