The literal translation of Mazel Tov means Good Fortunes or Good Luck (i use "luck" for lack of a better word as Jews do not believe in luck). Though it is often used to say Congratulations.
So normally the correct answer would be to say "Thank You"
Three responses come to mind. 1). Most common, appropriate and useful in the US: "Thank you !" 2). In older Ashkenazic congregations: "ah SHAY-nem DAHNK !" ("A beautiful thank-you" in Yiddish.) 3). Most formal, least likely to be understood: "bah-RUCH tee-HYEH !" ("May it be a blessing" in Hebrew.)
The whole verse is Siman Tov u'Mazel Tov Siman = sign Mazel = luck Tov=Good U' = and So Good signs (Siman Tov) and (u') Good Luck (Mazel Tov)
