A simple test on any belt is to have the car running and get a squirt bottle of water.  Have someone turn the tires to make the squealing sound.  As they turn it spray the belt with water.  If the squealing dissappears, it's the belt.  Otherwise it's the pump.

You can use this same test on other belts.

The belts is most likely glazed. Replace the belt and see if it stops.
