Live 1/2 cash game. I have about 300$. Average stack is about 200$

I just sat down at the table and dont know any of the players. The tables at this place are usually loose pasive and rather weak...

Preflop:
Hero has KcQh in middle position.
2 early limpers and Hero calls. Button raises to 15 (standard preflop raise at this game).

BB calls 15. the 2 limpers call and i call.

Flop: (76$)
Qc6c5c
it's checked around to the button who bets out 25$ and all 3 people call. I fold.

is this line too weak here? should i at least see a turn card and act depending on the action?
but if 3 people call what card do we wanna see? clubs could be dead and top pair also.
why invest 25$ if we wont be happy with any turn card?
i just felt like folding is a safe path cause i didnt really know what to do..
any thoughts?

I doubt someone has the ace high flush already. You've got TPGK and what might still be the best flush draw (although slim). I don't mind a call/shove blank turn, but I think I raise this flop hard. Especially if the table is loose/passive.

Raise flop. It's the way forward.
