PL25: marginal spot w/ weak turned 2p vs shorty

HJ: $30.77
CO: $9.92
BN: $25
SB: $41.03 (Hero)
BB: $53.46
UTG: $10.20
villain unknown
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J T 5 Q
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO calls $0.25, BN folds, Hero raises to $1, BB folds, CO calls $0.75
Flop ($2.35) 7 A T (2 Players)
Hero bets $1.40, CO calls $1.40
Turn ($5.15) 7 A T 5 (2 Players)

I'm not sure how to play this hand well in general. On the one hand I wanna bet the flop just because I flopped a bunch of equity which it seems like I can only realize by betting. If I check I think I have to just fold and/or giveup on later steets a whole lot of the time. This also looks like board which favors a PFA OOP range.

However if I do bet, a lot of the turns don't improve me enough to where I happily like to commit vs the shorty. The one posted is a very good example. However if I check this turn, this allows him to play really well and check back a lot of hands which can outdraw me on the river and won't payoff unless they're ahead.
