Any thoughts on this hand? Should I have called down?

Final Pot: 5.50 BB.
In this hand my question is simple. Its VERY likley that I am ahead at this point, so do I bet the flop for value or should I check and wait for the turn and force people to fold with the bigger betsize? (As the pot is very big)
