If I did somehow end up in this situation on the flop I would bet smaller. More cards hurt my hand strength than help it. So by betting smaller I can fold out their complete misses and build a pot so that i can set up a large turn bet if i do hit a favorable turn (which this is) without getting overly invested. Plus my small bet might get some naked A2 to sense weakness and shove. Plus by betting small with top two on the flop I protect my range so that when I do completely miss the flop they still have to respect my small bets.
At bigger stakes the pot bet on the flop is mostly getting action from hands with great equity like sets, A2 with a flush draw, A456, or A2QX type hands
