Open Ended Straight Draw

An standard open ended straight draw would be 8 outs

From the flop (2 cards to come) the odds are 31.5%
From the turn (only 1 card to come) the odds are 17.4%

So from the flop the bet would definately have to be less than the size of the pot in order to have positive equity for a call (if he bets pot, it is 33% for you to call)

And from the turn it would have to be a low bet to justify it eg If pot is 500, and he bets 100, then it costs you 14.3% to call and thus you have postive equity (lower call cost than the 17.4%)
