Default Jacks UTG, too weak or too strong?

First five minutes at the table. No reads. I'm just starting to play this level. I don't like calling because the small bet is sometimes an attempt for villian to price himself in cheaply with the flush draw. If I don't know how to interpret the bet, is folding correct? Seems so weak. What would you do if the turn came-
1. Ace of spades (actual)
2. Non-diamond undercard
3. Diamond
4. Jack of Diamonds

All comments appreciated.

Doesn't matter what card comes on the turn - I'm folding to a pot sized bet. You played this right.

Raise more on the flop. You're giving him 3:1

I'd fold the turn too
