Do I need to bet this large on the turn to get better to fold ?

BU: $1.31 (66 bb)
SB: $2.00 (100 bb)
BB (Hero): $2.95 (148 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with Q J
1 fold, CO calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero raises to $0.10, CO calls $0.08, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.22) T 7 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.14, CO calls $0.14

Turn: ($0.50) K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.38

I wanted to get a 10 to fold but should I be targeting Tx? what do you think about this bluff? can we get the same results with a cheaper bluff? I guess we need villain to fold roughly 43% of his range here, I'm under the impression he will likely fold more than that but not 100% sure

A better question is "are there better hands that would fold?"
Lots worse will call though, so let's keep those in.
You have an OESD, so your bet is a semi-bluff, and you are quite happy with a fold for sure, but you're also happy to keep the overpairs and 2-pair hands in, and hope to hit OTR

What's your plan if an opponent shoves?

Villain is limping and has a awkward stack. That are 2 indications that villain could be a fish.
Against a fish I'm not a fan of bluffing and with 8 outs for a straight a check isn't to bad ether.
