What does pas de problème mean?
Definition
It literally means:
* Pas → No
* de problème → (of) problems

“Pas de problème” is one way to say in French “No problem“, “No worries“, “Don’t worry about it“, “It’s not serious” or “That doesn’t matter“. It’s basically the shortened version of “Il n’y a pas de problème” which literally means “There is no problem“.
It’s a very popular expression that we use to reassure someone after something happened.
