It depends, if your going to harvest the stalks, (fruit of the plant). For the harvester, when the plant blooms, it is considered "Bolting" and is thought to waste a lot of the plants energy which could be used to produce edible stalks and storing carbohydrates.

If your harvesting this vegetable, you need to prune the flowers.

If your not harvesting, flowering (bolting), is part of the plants life cycle to propagate.

Yes, you should cut the flower off as soon as possible. If it sets seeds, you plant will never recover its strength.
