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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“ 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:

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

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

“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.

Why are European countries warning European travelers to be careful traveling to the United States?

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