In this particular spot I prefer to just call the 3-bet for two reasons:

1) You opened UTG, which mean, your have your strongest range (at least for 6-max), which mean, that the 3-betting range should also be stronger than, if say you opened on BTN, and now SB repops you.

2) The third player in the hand cold called a 3-bet, which is a way stronger action than cold calling an open raise (2-bet). This might not always be the case at 2NL, because many players are just bad. But he should have an even stronger range than the guy 3-betting you.

This is very different from a situation, where someone cold call your open raise, and then someone squeeze. It also kind of force you to make your 4-bet larger, and in this situation you made it so large, that you more or less committed yourself to call it off, if either of them jammed.

So I do think, that in the long run, when you get action here, you are pretty much always against either KK or AA or maybe occationally against AK, and your 4-bet makes all the weaker hands fold.

If you just call on the other hand, you keep COs bluffing range alive, and you can navigate postflop pretty well. Being a 3-way pot you are somewhat protected from being bluffed, so if the action gets heavy on A or K high flop, you can typically just fold and lose only the amount, you called preflop.

On low boards on the other hand you can sometimes get value from TT-JJ or bluffs. So while you might still get stacked by KK or AA, its more profitable in the long run, because you kept their range that much wider.
