Actually, if you translate it from Latin, Newton's Third law says the force acting on Q2 would be 2N to the right. See Newton's third law here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ami3DukkHMHg4vlZtdTqipLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071204152417AAdmMC1&show=7#profile-info-uDRfzKDFaa .
Take a look at the big system. As there is no outside forces, the net electrostatic forces must equal zero. The only way for this to occur is to have a reactive force of 2N to the right.
