$1/3 at Aria in Vegas, Effective stacks $300

Hero limps in CO w/ 5s7s with 1 limper thus far, Villian (UTG) raises to $7, MP calls, Hero calls

Flop ($25) 3s3c6s
Villian bets 13, MP folds, CO raises to $26, Villian calls

I'm interested on thoughts about my bet sizing of my raise on the flop (how much and why)?

Preflop is meh. Raise, limp and fold are all OK. Flop, don't min raise, bet enough to get some fold equity. The min raise only folds out villain's air and sets you up for a lot of bad situations on turn. Villains are likely to station you with an over pair, and if villain catches a boat with that over pair you can easily just have set your self up to get felted. Plus, it keeps you from getting maximum value when you do hit.

Turn is a good card to continue your semi-bluff. If villain does call turn, give up. Even if you hit your straight or flush you need to be very careful because villain will have a boat a lot when they call twice.
