Villain is 17/13/2/159 hands. The first hand I saw when I sat down he 3-bet someone with QQ. Is this an easy fold?

folding is fine. but don't tell anyone i said so...

calling is also fine. the villain stats suggest that he plays somewhat passivly post flop. call preflop. call flop without an over-card. fold to further action...i guess would be my standard line.

depends on ur reads mostly...he's probably aware that ur UTG as well...

call and see flop, don't fold

I call and see a flop, obv call on safe flop, and hopefully he checks turn.

I tend to call and c/c a safe flop, usually c/f the turn if he bets big again. Obv play for stacks if you flop a set or an OESD

I don't mind a fold here either. If you are going to play the flop unsure of anything, why invest any more? Just wait until you can play a hand more confidently.
If you do call, c/c and c/f if you face a larger bet or a scare turn card makes a lot of sense.
