Question
If someone is in the middle of Kedusha in their minyan and hears Kaddish from another minyan, should they respond to the Kaddish in the middle of Kedusha?
Answer
While saying 'Kadosh, Kadosh' until 'K'vodo', one does not respond to the Kaddish (even though Kaddish is more stringent than Kedusha). When not saying 'Kadosh, Kadosh', one should respond to the Kaddish.

Mishna Berura, Siman 56, S"K 6 writes: "It is forbidden to interrupt in the middle of 'Yehei Shmei Rabba' when hearing Kedusha, and vice versa, this requires study [Ch"A]:" However, in Siman 125, S"K 8, he ruled: "The PM"G writes, if one started Kedusha and in the middle heard Kaddish, it seems one should not interrupt to respond 'Yehei Shmei Rabba', but complete 'Kadosh' three times until 'K'vodo', and if heard then, say 'Yehei Shmei Rabba'."
