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

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“ 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:
What do people aim for when they meditate, and how do they do it properly?
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“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.
How do I become an intelligent man?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
