Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (SB): $19.81
BB: $17.02
UTG: $10.00
CO: $13.27
BTN: $10.92

Hero posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero has Q:diamond: Q:spade:

UTG raises to $0.35, CO calls $0.35, fold, Hero ??? \

UTG is an 11/8/23 afq
CO 51/37/52 with a 25% fold to 3bet (1/4)

should I flat or squeeze here?

Squeeze to get CO HU with his random suited junk.

Hand 0: 38.188% 37.32% 00.87% 50485742 1171596.00 { 88+, ATs+, KTs+, AQo+ }
Hand 1: 61.812% 60.95% 00.87% 82443082 1171596.00 { QcQh }

that's your equity vs 8%, I doubt he folds much to 3bets with this range.
he 4bets you at least a 1\4 of the time and every time he calls CO always calls.

How will you play QQ on Axx, Kxx, montone, 2tone, etc when you are first to act multi?

I'd squeeze it for multiple reasons.

1) Good hand, easy to play given the situation.
2) You want to isolate the spewy dude, who will play basically ATC.
3) Position. By not raising here, you'll be oop against 2 players - not good. Then you might as well have pocket 5's.
4) Information. If the tight UTG-opener shoves, give him respect and fold. If he just calls, I'd consider myself ahead on any non A or K board.

How big is your sample of hands against these players?

Also, keep in mind that the UTG-guy probably isn't interested in playing a multiway pot, just like you shouldn't be with this kind of hand. That basically narrows his options down to push or fold. If he decides to set-mine with his 10-10, at least you're not giving him the right price when you raise it up.

First post, forgive me for weird errors etc. English isn't my primary language :)

You didn't say how many hands on UTG, but unless it's a ton, this is a 3-bet for sure.

In addition to what baudib1 and Sultice said, unless UTG puts you on exactly a squeeze, or has a monster himself, your hand looks like a monster and he folds a lot leaving you heads up with your own personal cash machine.
