Top pair top kicker facing lead out bet and reraise?

Reads:
No real reads on XX1 but XX2 was very tight and played few hands, seen him limp with AK and JJ in all not an agressive player.

I did not 3bet XX2 pre as felt a raise from him meant something big instead decided to see the flop and take it from there, great flop for my AQ but with this action alarm bells have to ring.
Any thoughts how to play this or is a fold standard here with just one pair?

    I think im folding here. Without any reads on the xx1 its difficult to know what his donk bets could mean. But if xx2 is as tight as u say, then to min-raise with you still left to act tells me he already has you beat. and with no backdoor draws, im giving this up.

    Nice post though, be intersting to know what the outcome was

    Think i 3 bet with aq on the button here to stop the blinds coming in for cheap, its hard to fold because youve under repped your hand by just flat calling.

    I probably just flat here and see what happens on the turn.

    call. Definitely dont raise. XX1 is almost irrelevant given his stacksize

    Thanks guys a mixed response here, I did fold as XX2 worried me very much. XX1 shoved  AQ also and XX2 called showing KK which held up. I will admit if this had not been a 3 way pot it would have been very costly for me  as dont think I would have got away from it. I was surprised not to see a set here and the AQ by xx1 was unexpected strange hand but I got away lightly

    If XX2 is limping JJ & AK his raising range is therefore AA KK or QQ. Followed by re-raise on flop I;m folding here to.

    i just cant see how u are losing here both call your preflop raise so can eliminate aa kk or qq only way i can see your beat on this flop is iof some 1 has a set thats just a cooler some 1 could easily have k q here and a flush draw  if i had this hand i would go with it all day long

    If you actually see the outcome that waynec posted, he was losing?! the guy was super tight, and made small re-raise with other player still to act. aq is beat most of the time here imo

    You need to re read my comments and look at the hand, I called a raise by XX who is super tight and raise from him is likely to be AK, QQ, KK, AA hence my flat call even on the button, without this read I would be 3betting in position with AQ. The way this hand unfolded I could not see how a bare QQ even with top kicker was ahead. For your attention I have posted the complete hand.
