Default QQ and calling down

I just read GT123's very interesting discussion of his QQ hand, and I had kind of a tough QQ hand myself last night.

The table had been very passive (I was planning on leaving it soon) when this hand came up. MP1 had just sat down, so I had no read at all on him. UTG+1 had been very passive, I don't think he PFR'd once the whole session, so his limp-cap really stood out to me.

I'll probably take some heat for not 3-betting the flop, but I thought it was very likely I was up against AA, KK, or JJ.

So what's your move after the flop is capped? The pot is already HUGE, but calling down could get very expensive. I don't think getting into a raising war is doing anything at this point. But I think I have too much here to fold. What's your line? And what do you do if the turn is another blank?
