Stack sizes:
Hero: $67.63
CO: $50.45
Button: $59.85
SB: $9.23
BB: $55.95

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with Q♠ K♠
Hero raises to $2, CO calls, 3 folds.

Flop: 3♣ 7♠ 4♠ ($4.75, 2 players)
Hero bets $3.75, CO raises to $7.5, Hero calls.

After his min raise I hesitated between flat calling and reraising, because his raise looked weak. I decided a flat call was better because if I reraise and he pushes I'm not in a spot I want to be.

Turn: 2♥ ($19.75, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $8, Hero raises to $40, CO raises all-in $40.95, Hero calls.

Because his raise looked weak I decided to try a really strong line. I though if his raise was weak on the flop, then he'd make a good sized bet on the turn and I could take it down with a reraise. (I raised way too much though...it seems obvious that I want him out of the hand. I think something around 30 would be better, although in this case he would have pushed anyways and I'd be forced to call with my draw)

When I look at this now it seems a bit too aggressive, and I should wait for better spots than this. What do you guys think? What would other better lines be?

You raised UTG, so unless you face aggressive player, he´ll have here set or straight most of the times.
I like to call flop and c/c turn and c/f ui on the river.
c/rai is not the best, since he doesn´t have here draw too often if he bets again on the turn. He´ll rather take free turn card and you´re getting your money all-in most of the times way behind.
