I'd probably check the flop.

Yeah. First of all, on a Kd 9s 7s board, you're not really worried about giving a free card so much. You are raising UTG, so if you bet, you fold out all worse hands and KQ/KA doesn't go anywhere. Also, set of 99s and 77s is always posible.

A lot of players advice that it's always appropriate to cont. bet here because you are OOP, need to see "where you are," you want to take the pot down, blah blah. I'd be by far more inclined to do this if I was raising from MP2 and the button called than after PFR from UTG.

If villain bets, I probably smooth call for one street. I check/fold turn. Villain may try to represent a K with his stack, but if he shoots it all on the turn, he either has sufficient moxy or the goods.
