Default Dealing with Annoying Raises OOP

A situation came up a few times in the last few sessions which kind of annoyed me and got me to thinking what the optimal play was in situations like these. I'll give the most recent example from last night to explain this type of situation

5/5 NL

EP raise to $30 one callers and I call in the hijack with T9 cutoff calls BB calls 5 way to flop.

Flop: J72. Checks around to me and I bet $100 into a $150, The CO pops it to an annoying $225 and everyone folds to me

My problem:

If I reraise here, I pretty much turn my hand up as a made flush (or i guess a play with the A or maybe a set?) but I think I fold out a shitload of hands that I beat, and I stack off to the Q K or A high flush (we'll say A high less likely bc of that fact that he raised squeezing out potential other players)....so i don't really like reraising

If I call, I check the turn and then he can check behind big diamonds or two pair/sets a ton and get two cards for his baby raise, which sucks bc the turn and river both won't be friendly a bunch of the time.

Bc of this I generally prefer the c/r bet bet line but in these spots where im almost last to act and ive lead and then been raised i don't really know what the play is without only getting action from hands that beat me (i guess increase my reraising range, but i dunno if these idiots will notice)

Opinions?
