Was this a bad call???

this was a cash hand.
My opponent was fairly aggro and had a wide opening range. Both our starting stackes are 100 bb's deep
Preflop everyone has folded to the button. The button raises to £3, im in the small blind with A J and raise to £8.00 The Big blind folds & the button calls my raise. 
The flop comes down  K  3  A  Rainbow.
I put in a 3/4 pot sized bet hoping to get either value from maybe a weaker Ace or a fold. The button then shoves.
I mull it over for a few seconds thinking how many times am i going to be behind in this situation to a player who has been playing so many hands. In the end i call.
The button turns over K  3  for 2 pairs. The board runs out and neither of us improve & my opponent takes down a big pot. 
In the long run was this a correct call or not?????

    How aggresive/wide was his value betting post flop? I mean if you think he was capable of shoving any Ax here, maybe some Kx and bluffs then it's obviously a snap call but if he was playing less aggresive post flop then you can fold. It's not like there are any draws that he could be bluff shoving here.

    All in all I think it's close but can't fault a call. It's probably the weakest hand I do call though. Also, against such a villain I'd consider making it slightly more pre-flop.
