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.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

“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.

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