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.

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

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

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”.

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

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