QQ on a KKx flop

I usually think opponents are most likely to have a pocket pair or have paired the single card if they bet on a flop with 2 of the same cards.

I have stopped this hand where I was uncertain of the best play:

Party Poker (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, UTG+2 limps, I raise, folded to button, Villain 3-bets, blinds fold, limper calls, I cap, villain and limper call. (13.5sb)

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
limper checks, I bet, villain raises and the limper folds, (16.5sb)
I fold/call/raise ??? 

I hadnt seen villain do anything unusual since I had been at the table. When he raised the flop I considered that he could possibly have AK as he 3-bet preflop. However I also wondered whether he was being agressive with a lower pocket pair like TT or JJ.

So I was unsure whether it would be best to call down or fold. What do you think the best line of play would have been?

Given the huge pot, I would close my eyes and call down.

I'm not folding.
I would probably raise and go from there.

i would try a 3-bet before calling down, but it's close. he might also be doing this with JJ.

Given the responses so far it seems as though I could have made this hand question into a poll if I had known how. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The more experienced posters seem to favour calling down, but I would be interested to hear some more views before revealing the action I took and the results.

Once it's HU, I'm calling down as well.
