Flop low flush w/ lots of limpers

I'm pretty sure I misplayed this horribly. First hand at the table with no reads, posting in the big blind with 5c3c. Flop makes my flush with straight draws and face cards making it probable for lots of limpers to stay in the hand and I just call down the SB instead of raising. I was afraid of a higher made flush or the board four-suiting (though the odds of this are low given my cards), but isn't this just about the optimal flop for me and therefore shouldn't I be raising?

Please berate me for the passivity if appropriate.
