Default flopped top two pair, pre-flop raiser to my left, how to maximize bets

I think this might be my first small stakes post.

My question is whether I played this too fast. I figure I'm ahead, and I'm thinking about how to maximize winnings. With no reads on any opponents (sorry, but it's true), should I have checked the flop and simply called a bet from MP2, then gone for a check raise on the turn? Another option would have been to bet the flop and call what I figure would be a raise from MP2, but that would have forced MP3 to call two bets. I don't want that, do I?
