Would you fold middle pair, in a A-high board, for such small donk bets?

$0.05 NL - Holdem - 7 players

BB: 25.2 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 16)
UTG: 119.2 BB (VPIP: 46.67, PFR: 6.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
UTG+1: 46.6 BB (VPIP: 37.50, PFR: 6.25, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 16)
MP: 118.6 BB (VPIP: 37.50, PFR: 18.75, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 16)
Hero (CO): 101.6 BB
BTN: 100.2 BB (VPIP: 40.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
SB: 33 BB (VPIP: 40.00, PFR: 6.67, 3Bet Preflop: 16.67, Hands: 15)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♦ K♠

UTG calls 1 BB, UTG+1 calls 1 BB, MP calls 1 BB, Hero raises to 7 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 6 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (17.4 BB, 2 players) 6♦ 8♦ A♠
UTG bets 1 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

Turn: (19.4 BB, 2 players) 9♠
UTG bets 3 BB, Hero calls 3 BB

River: (25.4 BB, 2 players) 5♠
UTG bets 1 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

Spoiler

UTG shows 9♣ A♥ (Two Pair, Aces and Nines)

UTG wins 26.2 BB

Villains usually have some kind of weak pair or draw in these situations.

There are two ways to go:
1.Like in this case you have reasonable showdown value, so you can call down these 1BB bets. (You will beat 9x combos, and it is enough I think)
2.You will try to raise him out of the spot with a flop raise, turn bet. Bet sizing is usually crucial here, you should bet close to 2/3. This is better if you have direct outs to make a hand which can probably win the showdown. e.g. T72fd flop and you have KQ
