Yellow and Wilting Pumpkin Vines

Planted pie pumpkins near zucchini plants. Zucchini have been invaded by squash borer. Pumpkin leaves are turning yellow and wilting. There are approx. 12 pie pumpkins on the vines. Do I leave them in the garden on the vines or remove? Will they continue to ripen if removed? First time growing the pie pumpkins.
