Default SSNL - mid-pocket pair play

This post might be leaning towards theory a little but I'm interested to know what your favored response to this situation is:

100bb effective stacks and villain is either unknown to you or is a fairly middle of the road sort of player.

Villain raises and you call with a PP in the range of 55-99.

The flop contains an ace-to-jack as the high card but your PP is effectively 2nd pair. For example, you hold 77 and the flop is 2,3,K.

Villain makes a standard continuation bet.

What is your most likely response when:

1. In position
2. Out of position

Remember you don't specifically know villains game yet and can't accurately put him on a hand range. You consider his opening range is relatively wide and gets a little wider the closer he is to the button. You also expect him to c-bet this flop nearly every time whether he's hit or not.

Also what is your plan for the hand generally. For example if you call the flop and the turn bricks a reasonable range for villain would you call another barrel? Do you consider a more aggressive line such as leading the flop or flop+turn? Do you turn your hand into a bluff by raising or c/raising? Do you treat the situation as a set-mining situation and fold waiting for the next spot?
