200NL Squeeze, unsure how to proceed

MP raises to $4, stats are around 43/23
3 calls in between from all weaker players hovering around 100bb(one has 40bb)

Hero has Kh9h on Bttn and raises to $28
Initial raiser calls, player to his left calls, others fold

Flop is QdJd4h $90

Preflop:
On the site I play on, I guess-timate that min raises on average are weak/wider ranges, and with 3 weaker players flatting in between, I feel preflop this is a good spot to put in a squeeze and A)take down the pot preflop, or B) play a pot In position with a hand that plays reasonably when called.

Flop:
I think villains will have a wide range here, probably along the lines of suited connectors/Axs, some suited broadways, pocket pairs, and then some stronger offsuit broadways like AQo and KQo.... Possibly slightly wider, but prob not too much crazier

Given this approximation, I dont really like many of my options, but i do "feel" like we need to be putting in a bet on the flop

If we bet $30 into $90 and get one caller, we set the pot size to be $150 on turn with $142 behind, making the only real viable option on the turn as a shove/check behind.. I dont like the idea of betting small on flop to check behind turn because I think we get floated too often for that to be profitable at a small size.

We could use a bigger sizing, but that lays us a worse price and I Think villain(s) will have a easy time defending the flop/bluffing us off our hand later on.

Even if we bet something like 25% on the flop, it still leaves an awkward sizing on the turn with just over a pot size bet left behind.....

All this being said, it kind of makes me want to check behind the flop, but that also doesnt seem very good..... Insight, please :)
