Preflop
Normally QTo is a defend against this open sizing, but when the open is from UTG, and two other players have called, I think, we can just let it go. The problem is, that even when we flop top pair, there are still many ways for us to be behind or get drawn out on later, and we are going to be out of position.

Flop
This is exactly the problem. You flopped top pair, so it feels to tight to fold. But you dont even have top kicker or a BDFD, and UTG is betting into 3 people. He should not be doing a lot of bluffing, and if he has a made hand, its almost always better than yours. And you also need to worry about, what BTN has. So yeah as played I would also call here, but how often are you actually going to win this hand? This is just something to think about, and it points back to, why you can save yourself a lot of headache by just folding pre.

Turn
UTG should actually not be C-betting into 3-players with just A high, so this card dont hit him as much, as you think, or at least it should not. But he is betting half pot, after two players called him on the flop, so he is showing a lot of strength. Maybe he has AT or AX of spades, or maybe he flopped a set. Whatever it is, he most likely have QT beat, and you are still only on the turn, so I would also fold and save my chips for a better spot.

Conclusion
Perfect illustration of, why its better to just fold pre, even though it looks like, you are getting a good price. As played pre postflop is fine.
