The pot is now $67. I bet $45 and they both called.
Remember, the board shows

[9c][7h][4d].Ice,
I disagree with underbetting the pot with the presence of 2 players in the hand because in doing so you give the 3rd player proper implied odds to chase a flush. However, I do agree with you that overbetting the pot substantially is the wrong decision as welll.
Pot (67) + your bet (45) + 1st call (45) = 157:45 or 3.5:1
Not the correct odds for a call, but certainly close enough to be profitable with the implied odds of winning anything with a river bet. (Someone will call the river bet with a pot this big and these chip stacks)
I certainly agree with the $45 bet against one opponent.
On a sidenote, against one player (esp. the flush chaser) I will check the river with that board a lot of times. You stand to win more by inducing a busted flush to bluff at this size pot than value betting him.
