There is also nothing wrong with trying to call this down, control the pot, maximizing the balance between when you are beat and when you aren't. FWIW, this looks like some sort of strong made hand, I would almost entirley rule out draws.
I agree that .40 is a small bet, maybe like .55 or .60 would be better but not much larger. If he still raised after that size bet I might be okay letting the hand go. The board is pretty dry, and the only conceivable draws are like 67, 78 which I do not see raising here ever.
I'm glad this hand got posted because I've been having kind of similar hands recently where I take the c/c line and when no scare cards come on the T or R it's just hard to get away from your over pair. At that point it obviously becomes player dependent on whether they are capable of a bluff that can go for multiple streets. In some cases it's certainly acceptable to fold KK here despite taking a pot control line because his range is basically nuts or air and you have to figure out whether there is enough air to justify calling.
Obv if he takes this kind of line with QQ, JJ then it's pretty lol and would certainly justify calling more. That said, I probably call down in this case and take a note on what he has.
