If you have to fear that one of the other limpers will 3bet a good amount of time after your call, you certainly have a fold here.
If you limp, the next guy raises and a couple people call, you can probably call 97s to close the action. If you limp, next guy raises and somebody 3bets, you have to fold.
If it's unlikely for somebody to raise the straddle and people are bad postflop, you can limp a fairly wide range first to act if the straddle is in middle or late position and you are first to act preflop.
