Was this fold too tight?

Playing earlier I got involved in a tussle with a fairly actve player.
Not many of his hands had gone to showdown, so I had little read on whether he actually had the goods when active or not. that said, I had switched gears a while before his arrival & was playing quite tight. the last few raises I had made all got through and I think I was percieved as quite tight.
Anyway, Was this fold too tight, or should I have put him to the test?
(Looking back at it now, a larger bet pre might've been advisable)

If anything I would have gone with a shove. With the Qc on the board & not in my hand I didn't much like the clubs (was my main concern) and I wouldn't have wanted any other decisions on the river, especially if a fourth club arrived.
As it was He really simmered down after this and only played a couple of sporadic hands afterwards. Not sure what conclusion to draw from that, but I still reckon that after the flop call, he did spawn it & I saved myself some $$$.
Obviously the fact I'm asking for critique shows that after it occurred I was doubting what I'd done.
tbh I was expecting a small bet or a check & the pot sized bet just took me by surprise from that player. enough so that it actually made me tank & in actuality the timer ran out! if it hadn't I may well have called.
Looks like I choked and did myself out of some money.
