You could respond either way. you could combine them and say "I like it, it's pretty" as well. In this case the question is asking for your opinion, so there is no right or wrong way to respond as long as you communicate clearly.

Maybe because the question isn't, "Do you like this skirt?" but asks "HOW" do you like it. Of course, you could say, "I like it" instead of "It's pretty." But saying that it's pretty gives more of a sense of how much you like it. If you loved it, you would say something like, "It's gorgeous!". Or saying something like, "It's hideous!" would indicate you hate it. So, if someone is trying to get a sense of your tastes, they ask, "How do you like ...?"
Hope this helps. Have a great day! 😊
