It is very situational as with all poker. But as a rule try to bet in relation to the pot. So half/quarter/full pot bets.
Aviod the min bet which people do a low levels (as you get so little value from you hands and people will call with the slightest draws - i.e. runner runner straights - hence you not protecting your hand)
And as a good general rule raise preflop (usually around 3x, especially if you have position and a good hand) and aviod limping into a pot. (if you feel like limping you have to ask why you are playing the hand?)
You should also learn about pot odds, and giving players the wrong odd to call their draws
