I designed a badass illustration for a site I also designed. The client now wants the illustration at print resolution (300 dpi) so she can take it to Kinkos and have them make flyers since they're cheaper and spent all her money on the site. Should I give it to her?

It's work for hire and part of the original piece. If you have the illustration in EPS or IA format, or any format that can be printed, the client owns the work product.
You, as an ethical designer, should provide the client with that product unless you have a contract that specifically stipulates otherwise

If they've paid you for the source files then give them the source files. It's as easy as that. If they only paid you for an illustration for the web then you're square.

if she has no money to spend...you could spend a couple of hours on a flyer for her - the result would be no-one fucking with your artwork, a happy client who will have nothing but good things to say about you, and your work on an additional 10,000 printed items. if you withold you'll still have no pay plus a pissed client who may not hire you again.
