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:
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“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.
Why does my crush make me jealous about having a girlfriend?
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
