Default Overqueens in a big pot

Early hand at a table. No individual reads, but the table seems looser than average, normal aggression.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP2 calls, SB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (17 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, SB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls.

Here's where it gets interesting. Once he raises, I think I'm solidly behind MP2's hand range here, and the others are coming along for the ride. Even if he's semibluffing with AQ or AK, he's got a number of outs against me. Anyone like a 3-bet here? I decide to call and see what the turn brings.

Turn: (12.50 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero...

So what's the best plan of attack here? Include a river plan as well. My instinct was to check-call until I got a clearer sign that I was beat, but I suspect I often default to that line too quickly. Thoughts?
