"Sit on" here being used in the idiomatic sense of "refraining from".

The two statements here are essentially identical.

Neutral

Yvette Neisser Moreno: While correct, I think "Don't sit on your question" doesn't sound good in English, especially not in a literary context. It seems much more casual/conversational than the original sentence.

1 hora

-> I think that stating it more formally would sound very unnatural (e.g., "Don't refrain from asking your question"; "Don't withhold your question"; "Don't hold back your question". Certainly none of the other choices offered thus far are satisfactory.

-> Gracias, ME.

Discrepo

Refugio: Sit on is way too slangy, and somewhat dated slang at that.

2 horas

-> I really don't think so.

Do not remain in doubt.

Explicación:

Don't hesitate to ask. Don't go on being in doubt about it.

Explicación:
I believe the context here is very informal so I chose "go on being" rather than "continue to be" in doubt.
