I'm having a bit of trouble playing overpairs when meeting with aggression post-flop. I'm Fairly new to NLHE ring, with only 2,500 hands played between 10NL and 25NL, and this seems to big one of my bigger problems.

I'm mostly curious if I'm being too loose with my calls.

MP3 has been fairly aggressive so far, I doubt he has much more than AK-AJ but AA-TT is possible. I raised there for info and to try to prevent him from seeing the turn, should I have raised more? The UTG + 1 raise is scary, should I be able to fold there? Is the turn call awfull?

No read here. Should I be raising more preflop? Should I be folding to the turn raise?
