Any stats or reads on villain? You can likely flip a coin on the turn, but you are probably behind. A lot depends on whether villain ever has any of the weaker/stronger aces here given preflop.

No reads, 5 hands total against him.

this is rough, I doubt most players will c/r that turn with a worse ace. Still it feels [censored] folding trips. I think if you've going to felt the hand you should shove the turn (b/c of the two flush draws and because he's not folding trip aces worse kicker at that point)

Doesn't really matter what you do imo, but if you do anything you should shove or fold the turn. If he ever show up with a draw here you're a slight favorite over his likely range. Give him a range of A2+,55,88 and you're basically a coin flip.

I fold to the raise unless I know he'll play like that with worse aces.

I might check turn, planning to call a reasonable river or valuebet to a check.

i don't think there's a lot a value in betting the TRN vs an unknown, esp. as we can reasonably expect him to bluff the river with whiffed draws here.

I'd probably shove the turn, but the more I think about it, the more I like the check behind on the turn line.

Shame there are 2 flush draws out though....

Check the turn, snap off a bluff on river.
