I recently played the Titanfall Beta on my laptop (16gb RAM, i7 4700MQ, NVIDIA GeForce GT 740m) and I was playing on high at about 30fps with no drops. Then on my new monitor I changed the settings to medium and played at 30fps and then get major drops when I entered a Titan. How can I get consistent fps with the monitor and get the best quality possible? Also my laptop has a external cooler and it does not get very hot at all

Lowering resolution and any settings that increases your fps will help. You're basically having your monitor's refresh rate as a standard, when your fps is above your monitor's refresh rate everything will look fine, when your fps goes under the refresh rate bad stuff happens. Therefore, if your fps can stay up above refresh rate, you'll be alright and lower settings will definitely raise your fps.
Laptop monitor does something that adjusts it's refresh rate according to the fps you're running at, so you don't feel the difference. However, desktop monitors don't have such thing on them, so every time fps drops you will notice the difference.
Nvidia is offering G-Sync as solution, but that requires GTX650 Ti or later and a G-Sync compatible monitor (expensive)

So is there anything I can do to fix the problem with the current equipment I have? Will lowering resolution or texture quality help?
