Default Mid pair with decent kicker in BB

I had 8Jo in the BB flop came down rainbow 872. I bet out, get one caller in MP then the button raises(who I have no read on, I just sat down and was in for 15 minutes or so). Next card is a King. I check, MP checks, button bets and I muck.

The button shows the 89o to win the pot. Should I have reraised him with this marginal hand on the flop? Thanks

The button shows

How many players at the table, what limit, how many limpers? You cannot recommend a 3 bet without knowing all the details.

Full Table(actually 8 at the time, A few fellows went to go play on the craps table for a quick minute).

Limit was 10-20 and there were 4 limpers to see the flop. Also the turn card was a king.

you need to c/r that flop if 4 players limped. Also, if he is a normal player, you only lose to A8 on the flop. You most definately beat 89/T8 which will his most likely hand if not a draw.
