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”.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Why do subpar women think that they are nines and tens?
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.
Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
