It really depends on your history and what you know about his range when he calls a 3-bet. Often your SPR is going to suggest that you're committed, but that doesn't mean you have to bet or raise post-flop. I just went digging through yesterday's hands to find an example of what I mean. Even though this isn't AQ or AJ, the idea is the same. When I check behind on the flop, I make it more likely to extract against worse hands on later streets since it's possible he catches a pair if he didn't already, and since it makes my range look weaker since I've taken passive options.

MP1 ($46.10)
MP2 ($35)

SB ($70.95)
Hero (BB) ($49.25)
UTG ($77.35)
UTG+1 ($35.95)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A , 9
6 folds, SB raises to $2, Hero raises to $6, SB calls $4
Flop: ($12) A , 2 , 5 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks
Turn: ($12) Q (2 players)
SB bets $7.50, Hero calls $7.50
River: ($27) J (2 players)
SB bets $16, Hero calls $16
And Villain mucks KQs. Something else to keep in mind is that often it's going to be better to just call with AQ/AJ than to 3-bet.
When I combat Villain's c-bets, I tend to look for boards that probably hit me and probably missed them. You also need to be calling raises with a wider range of hands than 22-TT to make this work but that's balance blah blah blah etc.
