Villain is passive. I think my raise on the flop is ok, I wanted to know where I am. I think he has 2 overcards, but the diamonds are scary. Should I have made a bet on the turn?

Yuck, if you have him on two overs, why not just call and keep the pot smaller? Raising the flop here bloats it with a marginal hand and there are a lot of scare cards that can hit on the turn.

Give it up on the flop. It's not worth it to risk 200 chips on that small pot right now.
