A standard push?

[Gugel]

Villian has been giving the hero a really hard time. I've been TAG and continuation bet the flops frequently. He has called every single one of the continuation bets (5 or 6 total hands) and bet out on on the turn after I checked (I usually folded). Villian is loose-passive.

Thoughts?

sometimes you have to do this with rags just to let people know they can't push you around.... just prey for a fold....

You have described villain as loose-passive. You have a mouse betting into you on the turn. Your push looks like a frustration push and your trying to blow him of a hand. This is chip-spewing.

A turn raise to 40 or so would appear a lot more like a strong hand. Pushing looks like you want him to fold. Raise it to 40 or 50. Of course, if he fires back at you you might have to call given your 3, A, and K outs (which may or may not be good)

The fact that you basically have to be ready to commit your whole stack here in order to win a pot about half its size, and the fact that you have ace high after the turn with only a gutshot straight draw and overcards, these don't bode well... I'd find a better spot to go after the villain.
