Fold. You've shown nothing but strength all the way to the turn, and villain doesn't care. Your pair is no good.

Edit: Raise the flop more

This smells of a set to me. Unless you think villain is a donk and would play top pair this aggressively, dump the hand.

With no reads just flip a coin. He's either a donk who is overplaying his top pair or he has you beaten with K9 or some other two-pair garbage.

I wouldn't say calling here is a huge mistake without a read (no straight or flushes out there), just depends how much taste you have for variance.
