COMMENTS
Expressions of the form m^j + 1 can be factored (e.g., m^3 + 1 = (m + 1)*(m^2 - m + 1)) for any positive integer j except when j is a power of 2, so (p^j + 1)/2 for prime p cannot be prime unless j is a power of 2. A005383, A048161, A176116, A340480, A341210, and this sequence list primes of the form (p^j + 1)/2 for j=2^0=1, j=2^1=2, ..., j=2^5=32, respectively.

EXAMPLE
(3^32 + 1)/2 = 926510094425921 is prime, so 3 is a term.
(5^32 + 1)/2 = 11641532182693481445313 = 641*75068993*241931001601, so 5 is not a term.
