What's your pre-flop play?
Do you have any reads on UTG+1? Are they the standard loose passive who raises maybe 3% of their range something like JJ+AKs AKos AQs? Or is this someone whos capable of raising a bit looser than that.
If the cold caller is average your hand is usually ahead of him.
I personally like to 3b this hand unless the raiser is really tight with raising. The 3b may get it down to 3 handed but you may be seeing the flop w up 5-6 people as well. If it ends up being 5-6 ways your probably going to have to hit a set to win.
So anyways it depends is this spot, I usually 3b but sometimes would cold call and play for set value (assuming we think many will bite for 2bets).
