3-bet the flop or wait till the turn?

[J.R.]

Check-raise.

There is no win a bigger pot v. win the pot more frequently debate, since neither option is likely to induce a fold from your opponents. So the issue is which alternative gets the most money into the pot (assuming you are ahead). There are few draws, so its not like UTG is semi-bluffing and therefore UTG is likely to bet the turn and a cheaper card is not really that dangerous as your hand is pretty robust here. The presence of the coldcaller who can get trapped for a double bet on the turn really makes check-raising a more profitable option and also lends credence to the fact that UTG is likely to bet the turn if you just call the flop.
