OP w straight vs set heavy range (deception or value?)

BN: $384.64
SB: $273.66
BB: $889.18
UTG: $175
HJ: $207.46 (Hero)
CO: $497.02
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt 9 J J Q
UTG folds, Hero raises to $6, CO raises to $21, BN folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls $15
Flop ($45.00) T K A (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $20, Hero calls $20

Opponent is a reg. Over a small sample his 3b ip is low. 

Question: Should we have a raising range here? If we do doesn't that leave our calling range super capped/vulnerable?

My initial thinking is to says that we should flat all continuing hands in this spot.

- we will have more fold equity OTT with our blocker hands than we do OTF

- protect against getting barreled with hands that would like to call once (like AKQ, KK, etc.)

- only downside is that he gets to realize equity for free

Thoughts appreciated
