Awkward "value bluff" spot with AA

Blinds: $0.50/$1.00 (5 Players) SB: $104.78
BB: $190.24
UTG: $275.68
CO: $108.73 (Hero)
BN: $237.60
UTG seemed TAG over a small sample.
Preflop ($1.50) Hero is CO with A 3 A 8
UTG raises to $3.50, Hero calls $3.50, 3 folds
You may have seen me write previously about how I'm trying to find AA combos to flat preflop, in order to add deception to top set. If there was ever a candidate, I think this is one of them with the unsuited aces and 8s3s side cards.
Flop ($8.50) 2 7 5
UTG bets $5.25, Hero
When UTG c-bets, I find myself in a really awkward decision space. If they're as tight as I think they are, they're supposed to have majorly whiffed on this flop. And if I'm as capped as I appear to be preflop, I'm supposed to have a huge range advantage on this flop. So raising right now should win the pot a ton of the time.

But should I really be bluffing UTG off of their overpairs? With limited visibility on future streets with this AA combo, it's not the worst option, but I just thought it was interesting and I wanted to see how other folks felt about this hand.
