villain is running at 15/11.7/2.1 over 60 hands

okay so ive raised with top set here after villain has made a cbet and i'm not sure if this is the most profitable way to play the hand. Villain made a cbet with 2 to a flush on the board. i'm thinking i should be calling a raise here haping he floated something and can hit on the turn so i can get further money out of him and raise regardless.

The reason i'd do this is because i dont feel like he would be betting into me with 2 diamonds in the hole otherwise he'd probably play for the freecard and try to hit, meaning that by calling im giving him a chance to a. hit an over card on the turn and give me lots more money or b. take another stab and just fold to a raise on the turn which i would do regardless of which card fell.

thoughts on whether you think this would be a better way to play or just win the single bet on the flop ?
