Pot bet the turn! You don't want anyone sticking around with possible straight draw or overcards to your QQ.

u do realize that if i do this i will only have 23 behind in a huge pot and i will be commited. im not really worried about overcards and im not giving any draws the odds to hit...

You want to be committed against a donk when you have an overpair. You want all the chips in while you're ahead. Pot the turn, then it's an easy lead all-in on the river for maximum value against hands you beat. Potting the turn is definitely not about forcing out draws, it's about getting the maximum $ in the pot when you're ahead.
