The answer to this changes over time. In Shakespeare's lifetime, it was probably Titus Andronicus. In the 19th century two of Shakespeare's most popular plays were Henry VIII and King John because they allowed for a lot of pageantry. Nowadays people will mostly answer one of the plays they studied at school, probably Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.
