If the question has not changed, why should the answer?
When the jews asked Peter "What must we do?" it was obviously about salvation, because the text continues to say that Peter told them WITH MANY OTHER WORDS how to be saved.
Quote:

Acts 2:40 KJV And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

WITH MANY OTHER WORDS, means that the words he already spoke from verses 38-39 were considered along with the MANY OTHER WORDS concerning how to be saved. If the MANY OTHER WORDS regarded salvation, then the previous words, WITH these many others, also concerned salvation.
Otherwise, were the words about HOW TO BE SAVED considered as no important as WORDS NOT TO DO WITH SALVATION that WERE written, for the writer Luke to discard them?
People still ask "What must we do?" Why give them a different response than Peter gave? The question has not changed. Why should the answer?
