Overpair and my overwhelming gut feeling

NL Game 1-2-2
Minimum to play hand = $5
I know Villain has the tendency to chase flush and straight very often even without pot odds.

Under the gun (deep stack) kills it with $10.
5 players call $20 to play
Small blind called, but big blind folded
I am on the button with pocket 10
My chips: $370
Please do not use a lot of jargon/slang

Flop comes 4spades 5spades 7hearts
3 players check
Villain bets $40

I hate the board, but nobody seems to be protecting a strong hand like two pair or straight. I believe my overpair was good. I wanted to protect the $133 in the pot, so I bet $200

3 players fold, then Villain raised all in

1. Should I call $150 or fold?
2. Was relying on my gut feeling and betting $200 too much?

Looks like the UTG player is opened like 5bb ($10) pre-flop and calling with TT seems fine multi way.
On the flop his bet of $40 in a multi way pot seems fine when the pot is like $62 I think.
The problem if you raise you will be committed if he shoves and I don't know how much chips he has.
If he has more I would just call and her-evaluate the turn.

Don't forget you are raising the flop. You can't bet if someone already bet before you.
