Re: Drawing to overcards on the flop? Just a check-up.

I'm fairly new to limit hold'em and by no means an expert but I like the raise here. There's a very good chance the BB has 8-anything coming out of the BB and is just trying to protect it. Raising should tell you how many outs you have, as well as what the other players are on (calls and you're scared of As/Qs). But in *most* cases I would think that the raise will put you in a heads-up situation with the BB where you get to see a free river.
Again, I'm pretty new to the game but this is how I would handle it..

A bet and 2 callers to you, your raise isn't getting anything HU unless the guy 3 bets you which you don't want to see happen.
Not a good spot for a raise. You have likely 4 outs plus a redraw against you. You want to see this turn cheap.
