I would call this and then check/call the river unimproved.

The reasoning is this....

1) I don't want to fold.
2) I think I am good here 50% of the time at best. I am thinking that the villan has something given the low PFAF. I would put him on a set, 2 pair, or a pair and a straight draw. I think that Q5, Q8, QT, J9, 55 and 88 are real possibilities, I am not putting the villian on TT or QQ as they would likely have raised PF.
3) If I want to show this down, and I don't think that I am good here more than 50% of the time, the only reason to bet is to get the opponent to fold, but if they are bluffing, then I don't see the big error in checking here, you get the same amount of money into the pot. Sure they will get a free card, but they are calling with any draw anyways, and the only card that you are really afraid of on the river is a A. You could raise to try and get a free showdown, but there is a chance that you get three bet, or donked on the river if they call the turn. Either way it is going to cost you more to get to showdown.

I am not very good at poker, but this is what I do.

Call. You are probably beat, but can't be sure enough to fold.
