The New Deal. The economy was recovering well before the rapid industrialization following Pearl Harbour, mostly due to the New Deal. However, WWII put the recovery in overdrive by reducing unemployment drastically.

It is both.
WWII made the US turn on the economic engine fully to build the military infrastructure needed to win the war.
The New Deal created systems that kept the economy on track. It stabilized the banks, developed an infrastructure of electricity throughout the South and West, and created a system for stabilizing the agricultural sector.
Without this stability, it would have been harder to fight WW II and the US might have slipped right back into depression once the war ended. However, without WW II it might have taken ten more years for the US to generate the demand for labor that the war created.
