Responsorial psalm is a type of psalmody that involves a soloist or choir responding to a congregation or officiant. It is commonly used in liturgical services and is a form of call and response where the congregation participates by responding to the soloist or choir.
A responsorial psalm is a psalm or chant recited in parts with a congregational response between each part.

The Responsorial Psalm occurs after the first reading in the Liturgy-of the Word. It may be the assigned psalm or a common (seasonal psalm). It should ALWAYS be sung and involve the assembly. There is usually a connection between the first reading and the responsorial psalm. It may be sung in a responsorial manner or a through composed.
Any psalm can become responsorial, so there is not one specific psalm that is clearly identified and whose use can be discussed.
