Fold. Lot of possibilities - he probably has the other two with either a higher kicker or even twos full. He may have pocket threes but if he'd had sevens or eights, he probably would have raised pre-flop.

When I flop trips, I overbet the pot to get a sense of how strong my opponents are. That tells me how I should bet the turn.
