Well, you could do either. Generally, in a I-IV-V progression such as DGA, you can construct a solo in a D scale (minor or major pentatonic, major scale, blues scale among others). Depending on your fretboard proficiency, you could also change scales along with the chord changes. Give both a try, but I would recommend staying in the same key to start with and build up to changing scales.
