You don't have any information on the button player. The big blind is the chip leader and has been playing a lot of hands both in and out of position.
From middle position you raise to 150 with

The flop comes

The board is connected with all different suits, and one of the other players may be drawing to a straight, especially the loose chip leader. The bettor may also have second or third pair. I would expect two pair or a set to make a larger bet to protect their hand.
Your hand is weak and you will probably only win the pot with a bet. However, You don't have a lot of chips and risk becoming short stacked if you lose a large pot.
Without a read on the other players, I would consider making a small raise (200) and see what happens. Nice if they all fold.
I wouldn't call as I wouldn't know where I was in the hand. Folding is also worth considering and would preserve your chips.
If I make a small raise, get called and don't improve on the turn - I would check, possibly call or fold to another minibet or fold to a larger bet. I'd want to keep the pot small and be wary if a straight becomes more likely.
If check-raised by the big blind or raised by the other player, I fold immediately.
