Default NL25 - JJ basic bet-sizing Q

This is a very basic but kinda ipmortant part - how much to bet with an overpair on a relatively safe flop. Skip if you think this is kindergarten stuff.

Table is full of cold-calling passives. I guess they are setmining or playing ATS.

I used to always bet full pot here but I am starting to think it is not optimal and am leaning towards 3/4 nowadays - since we are obviously not eager to felt and will probably have to fold to very strong resistance.

Enlighten me.
