Here is my thought. The bet on the flop seems week (possible draw) thats why I raise him. And check back on the turn is obvious that I give up and he is free to bluff me.
I know 55 on a multiway pot is not something strong. But do you think there is call on the turn? He plays like he hit the Q but he bets too strong.
Another line could be to re-raise bigger on the flop and snap shove on the turn. How about that?

His flop bet looks weak indeed, but is difficult for him to bluff against 2 players.
I’m most likely calling and her-evaluate the turn. If you raise here you isolate against better hands.

As played I’m also check/folding on his pot size bet.
I don’t think it has to much sense to bluff here.

Cheers,

I'm not a fan of bluffing with a pocket pair. You only have 2 outs. You can bluff this board with tons of hands that have a better equity/playability than 55.
