Preflop
Given how short stacks are, its fine to isolate to just 3BB. But since KK is such a strong hand, I do prefer going larger for value. I dont think, you need to worry about always using the same size in a freeroll, because few opponents will pay attention to anything other than their own hand.

Flop
The SPR is less than 2,5, and no straight or flush is possible yet. So even against 3 opponents, the plan here is definitely to play for stacks. UTG leads out for around 1/3 of the pot, and given how relatively wet the board is, I do not want to just call this and give the other two players great odds to stay in the hand and try to suck out on your KK. So min-raising here is totally fine and sets it up for a river jam, if someone give you action. UTG dont just call though, he move all-in, and since I already planned to play for stacks, this is an easy call.

Results
Just a standard cooler. With an SPR this low and especially in a freeroll people will stack off way wider than just two pair or sets. If he had any T, he is also getting it in, and you are a 4:1 favourite on the flop.

If you had a K at the river it would be nice, but not this time! Another 7 loves your opponent. Just leave it and continue!

The first thing to came into my mind is to raise bigger here pre. UTG's limp is so lame, and to do a better isolation from him its just valid to put bigger willingness here, and this would be much effective = Also very shovable hands are coming, so this way even 77 could fold from UTG and all the J10s stuffs which limped in as a chip leader, in the other hand the small stacks could still shove with weaker ranges, so that circle could make fold closer stacks with mediocrate hands.

In a 4-way party you did your best, but cards outplayed themselves to the other way. To your deffence, Opp probably would not only limp with 1010 so the two combinations this person was ahead on flop was 77 and 44.
