It depends who you're talking to.
If you're not sure, say: "Je vous en prie"
If you're talking to a friend who is not from the bourgeoisie/higher classes: "De rien". If he is from the bourgeoisie/higher classes: "Je t'en prie"
I don't think "Pas de problème" is very formal. Actually, I think it IS informal. And you don't really say that when you reply to someone who said "Thank you". It can be used in some circumstances, I think.

The 'proper' translation of 'you're welcome' is 'je vous en prie' (formal or to a group of people) or 'je t'en prie' (informal), although you can also say 'de rien' (= 'it's nothing') depending on the context. By the way, the 'proper' way of saying 'you're welcome' in German is 'gern geschehen', although 'bitte'/'bitte schön' is often used in shops.

well, if you talk to a friend, you'll say: de rien, or je t'en prie.
To someone you respect : Je vous en prie. you also can say: oh, c'est pas grande chose.

I vote for "Je vous en prie!" as the correct formal answer.

Two possibilities come to mind, "De rien," and "je vous en prie."

De rien or "it's nothing" is a common way to say it.
