Raise, but be careful with the river.

Do you know what a position is?
If you do, why don't you voice it? If you don't know, then your question makes no sense.

If you know that he has QQ you only have 4 outs and you should fold. ; )

Serious answer: Well first we need to sort out the action. You opened pre for 4bb and he called. So he either called behind, called from blinds or check-called out of position. Judging by the flop action it sounds like he called behind in position, unless he check-called flop too. We also need to know what FOP 7 means. Does this mean that the turn was a 7?

What are the suits? Is there a flush draw at all, and if so, do you have it or not?

As I understand it, a 7 on the turn doesn't change the hand at all unless it helps a flush (or it gives Villain a set). We are out of position with top 2 pair on a wet board (but we're not sure how wet). Even if we assume rainbow flop (so we can forget about flushes) personally I would bet here but something very reasonable usually 1/3rd pot to 1/2, except that you already bet HUGE on flop, so you can't really bet small enough anymore because he won't take small bet seriously at all. We want pot control here because we have 2-pair on a straight line board and that is a danger. Your flop bet was far too large so now we can't do that. What is good for us is that the 7 does NOT help the straight. The issue here is the pot size, so what are the stacks? Stack sizes here are crucial info.

And also, what are the suits on the board and do you have a flush draw or not?

AK suited is a strong hand, but against QQ you need to be careful after the flop. If you miss the board, I wouldn’t automatically raise. Consider the board texture, stack sizes, and your opponent’s betting pattern before deciding. Sometimes controlling the pot is better than forcing the action.

You don't know that he has QQ, so then how should you know to be careful after the flop?

If you knew that he had QQ, you wouldn't be careful. You'd just give up because you only have 4 outs (plus a miracle straight).

He flopped 2-pair (on a straight line broadway board). He has no pot control. He already bet pot on the flop (and got called no less!).

If Villain is a fish, he's probably good but if Villain has any competence, any hand that calls pot on that flop is damn scary.

And we still don't know the suits or the stacks. Both of these things will change this hand drastically.
