Need to visually inspect belt for cracks/damage. If looks OK you can tighten it up if it is loose to see if it helps. From my experience, belt dressing makes the squeking stop for about a day then it becomes worse than before. Usually a new belt is required to stop the annoyance. Be sure to pick the right brand though because some new belts will even squeak depending on brand of part and make of vehicle..
