What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Scientists stunned as cameras capture footage of 200-million-year-old creature once thought extinct: 'The whole team was euphoric' - Yahoo

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
