Level I or II of a typical Party $11-33, stacks ~800ish; you limp AQo UTG, and three or four limpers join. Flop:

Q - rag - rag (rainbow)

You 1/2-3/4 pot the flop, min-raised by CO, folded back to you. Your action?

I think many respected posters here have established if the CO instead made a donkey push, it's probably +EV to make the call - do you afford the late-position minraiser more respect, however?

You hit your hand on the flop, what are you waiting for?

At these levels people see a 1/2 - 3/4 pot bet as weakness and will make that play with Qx.

Edit - "what are you waiting for" doesn't mean push it means folding is stupid.

It is a safe board. Only a King is scary and HU you shouldn't worry too much about 4 cards (really 3 since it is only bad if he has one). Either he has a set or two pair or a worse queen or worse PP. If he is way behind like that you don't want to push him off. If he is way ahead like that you don't want to bet into him. Unless you think you have a good read directing you elsewhere, I think calling him down is good. He may well do you the favor of betting his set small to keep you in or semi-bluffing with a loser.

Also, I would guess the min-raise is not a set and probably not 2pair either.
