Well we are not folding with SPR being so low. KK is of course not greatest flop but fact there are two kings makes it always somewhat unlikely for villain to have it. I have been doing some very small betting like 1/5 pot with SPR 1 spots on paired flops and have got surprisingly often some weird spews. So either potting or betting really small is fine.

Just pot and trust the math. Sometimes he has the King, but he will not have it often enough to exploit you in any way. Shove is 100% guaranteed +EV move in the long run. You can think those SPR < 1 situations in a way where you announce preflop that you shove any flop. And even when opponent knows it, he can't prevent you from making money in the long run as he will not hit the flop goon enough or often enough to exploit that. So if in doubt, just shove.

As the board is rainbow and disconnected, you can get creative and bet something like 1 dollar (1/5 of pot). Most PLO5 players will have a hard time to fold high pocket pair.
