Well, if you bet I probably reraise you all in with my flush draw. Just ask yourself what would the donk do? If you are not sure, give me a ring,and I will tell you exactly what I would do. The serious answer- I raise the flop.

This is really a son of a bitch, but I think you played it correctly and here's why: It appears that this tourney everybody started with 1500 chips (or maybe 2000?), and either way, the whole table is quite short compared to if this was a rebuy or a 3k-starting-stack where you'd have more room to breathe. The pot on the flop represents over 1/3 of your stack, and a significant portion of your three opponents' stacks as well (especially the PF raiser's). I think it would be very difficult for any of these 3 opponents to fold to a check-raise all-in from you if they decide to open on the flop (assuming they open for at least half the pot). Let's say you open for 350 on the flop - is a naked spade really gonna shove on you with almost no perceived fold equity???? Probably not. Is a naked spade (or 88 with a draw, or a weak king, etc) gonna have to call your check-raise all in? Probably. Ship it.
