Flop bet is absolutely fine. You have nothing to fear on that flop. Get some value out of your opponent.

You get more value if you bet more.

Not necessarily. It's unlikely you will get raised if you bet the pot. People are unlikely to bluff you if you bet strong, plus your opponent will fold marginal hands he would otherwise call with, such as gutshot straights, overpairs with 2 backdoor flush draws and bottom 2.
When I bet this flop, i'm looking for my opponents to raise, not call, which they will if they sense weakness and have a medium strength hand such as top 2, a set or the higher straight wrap.
If the guy has absolutely nothing, he is folding in both cases.
