You know that you are going to get arse ended.

Do you keep your foot on the brakes so that you don't get pushed into the
car in front or do keep your foot off the brake and have two bumps but of
less severity?

Keep the brakes on. The back's getting hit anyway, might as well save the
front (and the complexity of another party involved).

OTOH if it is fully insured, with the right type of policy, you can
make a case that you want it damaged at both ends so that it
will be a write-off and you will get a brand new car from either
the insurance company of the one who caused the accident
or your own insurance. And if you do lose your no claim bonus
because the driver who caused the accident doesnt have
optional insurance, you're going to lose that anyway even
if you do keep the brakes on.
