Hi Todd

My thoughts..

While QQ is a premium hand pre-flop, it’s relative value decreases with each street and it has few ways to improve. So we really want to take it down preflop or on the flop.. Once we raised UTG and called flop, (assuming balanced range) it’s likely that we have an overpair or AK, so it’s bad new if we’re bet into twice.
Something like C-bet 80%, check 20% for balance, and if villain bets, raise pot size.
Once we’ve check-called the flop it’s virtually impossible to know where you’re at in the hand. I’d focus on that player and attempt to gauge their strength based on their style etc. Some amount of the time you’ll be ahead of his top pair type hands.
