My read is that villian has a high pocket pair and is trying to protect it against a possible straight. Raising to see if someone has a 7 etc.

So each of your gutshots gives you 4 outs (full since the read is high pocket pair)
The RR flush draw is 1.5 outs by the river.

You have 9.5 outs so this is at least a call if not a raise. A raise here may scare off mr big pocket pair but also might drive off villian #2 who could also be working on one of your draws.

I would call and reevaluate the pot odds on the turn. Most likely it will be checked to the raiser who will bet. The size of the pot will justify a call of 1BB to the river even if you miss on the turn. fold the river unimproved. Raise like crazy if you hit your straigt or flush.
