An asymptomatic gallbladder polyp of this size does not require any treatment, but close follow up is mandatory. The risk is if the polyp continues to grow.

If you have no other complaints like pain, severe acidity, nausea- then no need for any active treatment. Just followup with an ultrasound scan a year later, to look for increase in size of polyps, number of polyps .
Next Steps
consult a surgeon for further advise.
