After flopping 2 pair on a fairly wet board, I decided to bet the pot against 2 opponents with the intention of folding to a raise, or shutting down on turn and river if there was a caller. Given the low blind stage of a tourney, am i better off checking this post flop?

PokerStars - $1.29+$0.21|25/50 Ante 6 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 46.28 BB (VPIP: 17.65, PFR: 5.88, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 34)

7 players post ante of 0.12 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.34 BB) Hero has 5♠ A♠

fold, UTG+1 calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

Flop: (3.84 BB, 3 players) 7♥ A♥ 5♥
Hero bets 3.84 BB, fold, fold

It looks fine to me. You want to protect you’re hand against draws. So betting is the best option.
Maybe a smaller bet works as well. Pot size is a lot I think. I would normal bet 2/3 pot or so here.
