I mean when you lose your queen and can't take their queen or any of their pieces in return that is why I will quit.
When I loose my queen I defend my king as well as possible. Same as the football (soccer) teams would do if one of their players were sent off. (it's called 'park the bus'). When I have only few pieces left I try to get a stalemate position.

I once got my Queen trapped and swapped it for my opponents rook. I had 2 rooks to my opponents 2 knights and Queen and managed to swindle a draw by repetition!
c. I play on and if I know me opponent has a clear plan then I resign
If I lose it due to blunder then I resign.

A lot of people will resign due to losing their queen for nothing. One of those people is me.

If I lose my queen:
1. Give up
2. Do you best
3. Try to make a come back
4. Offer draw (which the opponent most likely will not agree on.)
When I lose my queen i check mate right after losing my queen:
Assuming that I accidentally blundered my Queen and my opponent still has their queen, I will likely resign, but sometimes I'll play on for the heck of it, which isn't a horrible idea because opponents at my rating range dole out blunders like they're giving away brochures. I've even checkmated someone after blundering my queen early on:

Well it depends what kind of player you are. For me I will most likely resign.

Do your best.I have accidentally blundered my queen in some of my games and still won.
I'm in the "resigns" camp. Yes, chess is a game of errors, but it is not a game of blunders -- not for me, at least. It's not to say that I don't make them -- I do, by dozens -- but I do not expect myself or my opponent to make them. After a serious blunder, a game of chess loses most of its appeal to me.
I don't agree that you can learn much from playing a queen down without compensation. You're just bound to shift to 100% defense in a matter of a few moves-- and a hopeless and short-lived one, too. That is, unless you're playing a way, way weaker player than you -- but this is an entirely different subject, because if you are, then you're either just wasting your time or you're playing for fun with a friend, so the quality or the result of the game don't matter.
If the blunder happened at some interesting junction, and the tactics that was brewing didn't involve the queen, I might just try testing the combination for the heck of it -- regardless of its relevance to the game as a whole. I also might try to soldier on for some moves if it were a blitz game.
On the whole, however, I prefer resigning, as it's a good way to cut the torture, save your nerves and your mental energy, and to show respect to your opponent.
Curse like a sailor and try not to rage quit
Continue playing.

Hey, I lost a whole rook in a completely won position against Computer9 or something around that level and still won even though I was easily losing after that blunder - https://www.chess.com/live/game/2808680323
I think giving up might be the best idea if you lose a queen for nothing and also most of the comments here are posted in 2009.
