Back to basics.
Goals in a tournament(in order):
1. Surivival
2. Chip Accumulation
Sure, go ahead and bet the draw, but if he raises your flop bet, what does that say? A raise means your folding equity is going way down. He's also a deep stack, and may decide to gamble on more marginal holdings like a flush draw + top pair.
edit: just read about villain being laggy...doesn't change anything though. If he's raising a pot bet it's not worth the hassle imo. Lags can make crazy calls too, and any K or Q is dead even here.
You're risking your tournament life on (at best) a 50/50 if he calls. This ain't the final table, blinds aren't killing you. There is no good reason to push here and forget #1.

we have substantially different goals in said tourney. Did you play?
