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.

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

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”.
