Default I don\'t wanna give this flush draw correct odds

The situation:

You have a good made hand on the flop, the board has two of the same suit, and you are certain your opponent is on a flush draw. The game is pot limit. The pot is x dollars and you have x dollars behind. Do you shove or bet a little on the flop and wait for a blank on the turn to push the rest of your stack?

Villain makes his flush 35% of the time by the river so him getting 2 to 1 odds on the flop allows him to call correctly since he will not have to call a turn bet (you are all in). Knowing that villain cannot make a mistake by calling this flop all in bet, do we wait for the turn? Waiting for the turn means making a smaller bet on the flop which gives villain even sweeter odds to call with his flush draw. However, this makes it possible to bet enough on the turn so that villain cannot call profitably anymore.

Is there a solution to this or does PL just suck?
