I'd size up my 3bet pre to 1.44, but the difference is minimal. Here, villain is repping a set, but he can probably only have 99 and TT, and if you're only beat by 6 realistic combos, I don't think you can fold. You do block a QJ bluff, but I still wouldn't fold. I feel like calling is slightly better than raising, as you keep villain's bluffs in range.

Basically, without reads, I feel like you just can't fold. Exploitatively, it is certainly something you can consider. I know I'd call turn and a blank river, and swear at my laptop after getting showed TT.

Seems like a standard call and then decide what to do on the river. If you are folding QQ then you are not continuing anywhere near frequently enough.

Even with an overly nitty 3b range of TT+, AKo, AQs+ we still have to call with all of our overpairs pretty much.

Trivial call. He could be spazzing out with a lower pocket pair or AT in the micros. If he has flopped a set, or slow played KK/AA, so be it and move to the next hand.

Can I ask why you chose this bet size on the flop? Are you incorporating check backs? If so, what with?
