No. If you make a decent sized bet on this flop (>1/2 pot) and get called, there is a very good chance the person who called you can beat top pair weak kicker.
It's smart to not lose too many chips with TPWK.
It's weak to not try to win the pot at all (i.e., by check/folding the flop or betting very weakly on the flop).
P.S. Your villain played this hand rather badly and should have raised you on the turn (especially with the 2 clubs on the flop) or bet more on the river, so you got to showdown rather cheaply here.
