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

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

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

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

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

What does it mean when we dream about demons, ghosts, monsters, etc.?

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