Jackrabbit Slim

Been at the table an orbit or two so my lame self has no real reads. So I flop my set but the board looks great for straight draws so I bet and get some serious resistance from UTG+1. When he keeps raising on the blank turn I'm starting to see that flopped straight after all and slow down. Although J8 isn't that unlikely for a limp at this level, a lower pocket pair seems almost more likely, especially since Button most likely had some of the straight filling cards. Should I keep jamming the pot on the turn/river here or is the ghost I'm seeing likely?
