You check it in hopes of them hitting a high pair or even 2 pair....
Now AFTER the flop, before the turn, I would put a small but decent sized bet out to make them want to pay to see the next card......
Actually most pros recommend immediately betting large because with trip aces there's always a straight draw on the board (inside in this case) so you don't want anyone getting a card for free. You're definitely ahead but can suck out big here against limpers. 5, 2, 3 on the turn is trouble, and if they call and none of those hit you're in great shape.
