I think betting pot is a mistake. You're betting as a bluff, and a Pot bet doesn't really achieve more than a 75% pot bet. If someone really likes their hand, they're not going away. You gave a GTO reasoning, but you're playing live; you should play the field, not GTO. You don't want to go too low because you don't want broadways with a backdoor flush or something to call, but 75% and probably even 67% would achieve this, too.

... you should also really format these more. At the very least add the size of the pot. You said you bet pot and got raised to 80, but I don't know how large pot is, which is very important here because it's a pretty close spot. Don't make have to calculate! Well I guess I'm calculating now, so it should be about 22, which means you have to call about 58 to win 22+80+80+22=204. (There's also images with :{number}{color}4: like :5s4: :6h4: :8d4: .)

Anyway as played I think fold to the raise. You're virtually always behind and  UTG won't let you see another  card for free; an all-in on the Turn is likely and then you don't have the right price (assuming about 16% for your straight and no other outs -- you can also win with the 7 and maaybe with blanks, but you're also not guaranteed to win with any 4 or 9, so I think 16% is fair). But you might have had the right price if you bet 15 instead of 22.
