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

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

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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
