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.

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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

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