Default 6.5: Make a play for it and hope?

The blinds just went up from 100/200 to 200/400. I'm lucky to get to see a flop, and lucky-ish to flop a pair. The pot is the same size as my stack, and the first player has checked. If I fold here I'm a long ways behind and need to double up. My thinking is that it could be right to push here and hope my pair of 5s are good. If I fold, I have 1145 and maybe a little fold equity, though someone is open-limping most hands. This is not a good flop for my hand at all, but I'm pretty desperate. Push here?
