"Resolving" a problem means finding a solution for it. "Resolving" a question means finding an answer for it. When you have a serious problem or an important question, you probably want to "get it resolved" quickly:
We need to get that resolved soon.
People also use the phrase "have ___ resolved":
I'll try to have it resolved by the end of the week.
as soon as possible
People use the phrase "as soon as possible" to talk about things that need to be done quickly:
Please call me back as soon as possible.
I need an answer as soon as possible.
When you use this phrase to talk about something that's not very urgent, people may think that you are being impatient.
Sometimes "as soon as possible" is shortened to the acronym "ASAP".
