Because you were on the button and there were several callers of the preflop raiser you can make a case for calling. But there's certainly nothing wrong with folding QJ to a 5X preflop raise. If you flop a draw with that hand you will be likely facing a very large bet compared to your stack sizes, one that will be hard to call unless there are a few callers in front of you.

Unless you get the flop that actually happened, it will be difficult to play postflop. Calling here is a high variance play (though potentially still +EV).

try not to think about these kind of hands, and what would have been , exactly cause of the reasons Alastor wrote
about the call, for 5BB, it would be ok I guess with so many guys in the hand, but you have to hit the flop really hard not just some TP, or you might get into some serious trouble, and even if you hit a good draw, it will prolly cost you a lot to get there since there's a very good chance one of the 3 guys will have a big PP or hit some good hand on the flop
