Villain is playing 24/18 over 30 hands. The flop bet should've probably been pot? What's our line on the turn?

SB: $130.72 (261.4 bb)
BB: $63.95 (127.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A 6 T J
UTG calls $0.50, MP folds, Hero raises to $2.25, BTN calls $2.25, SB calls $2, BB folds, UTG calls $1.75

This isn't a flop you can bluff 4 ways, it's super wet. So when you bet, it should be obvious to opponents that you have something. With that in mind, you want to keep your opponents in the pot on a hand like this rather than forcing them out with a full sized pot bet.

The worst scenario for you would be the button calling then everyone else folding which is exactly what happened. I would have liked to see a bet around $5 here. Firstly you may get raised since your bet looks weak and if it's button doing the raising I would probably go ahead and shove on him. If you don't get raised then there is a better chance the turn is multiway, which helps you.

As played on the turn, well you can't rep a straight after the strong flop bet so check/call or check/fold depending on whether your opponent prices you in with his bet sizing. You have as many as 15 outs against a straight (depending on if it's the nuts or not) so it all comes down to what your opponent bets.

If you do decide to bet the turn yourself, then it has to be full pot, because if you bet less and get raised you're not folding so you might as well maximise the chance your opponent wont call again.
