Default fold this 2-pair?

Villian is playing fairly loose with his big stack but more calling preflop than being aggressive. In the previous orbit he made a pot size donk bet on a raggy flop which I folded to.

I decided to smooth call the flop and raise the turn - there wasn't much I was afraid of and I wanted to try and get max value from the hand. I didn't like the turn card at all and his psb scared the hell out of me. I thought for ages and ages and ended up folding.

I think the main reason I folded was that I didn't want to get stacked, and I could fold this and still nearly have a full stack. This is probably the wrong mindset to play this game optimally, but I thought I should check with you guys if this is the easiest push ever on the turn or if the fold to protect stack was sensible.

One thing that went through my mind was, if he had a set why would he pot the turn, but then with the drawy board it kind of made sense so I wimped out.
