Limp.

Your mainly playing for a set. If you flop an overpair then you have to play it differently based on the number of limpers. Less limpers = more aggressive.

It's the kinduv hand I'm willing to give up fairly quickly. Jacks is a pretty rag hand in that posistion, not much different from twos and lvl 1.

Think about it, if you raise and get callers those callers will either have overcards, a higher pair, or a lower pair. So what are our postflop scenerios:

Overcards: If they have overcards you aren't getting a lot of preflop equity anyway. Besides, lets say the flop has a queen, are you going to bet, let it go. Who knows if the queen helped anyone. Your out of posistion in a bad situation and you barely got any preflop equity.

Lower Pair:
Your getting a lot of PF equity here, but when the flop comes its really easy for them to fold a non-set. Harder for you. The potential of drawing dead postflop far outways the PF equity. Remember, you aren't getting any extra money out of them after the flop unless you both hit sets or something.

Higher Pair:
I don't need to explain just how bad this situation is. You don't think aces will be glad to cold call your raise and trap you. You did all the work for him. Low cards show up and you lose even more money. This is horrible.

Jacks is a great hand at higher blinds. Not here.
