How to respond when someone say "I hope it helps"

Question

We are given an assignment, and my foreigner seatmate helped me to answer one question and he added "I hope it helps"

I am not sure what to respond, out of my to speak in English I responded thank you, need any help on how to respond to these.

Would you like to know how to better word your question? It is perfectly understandable, however, it is not correct English. You are doing so well with your studies that I would like to help. This is not meant to be unkind in any way. — WRX, Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 16:14
This is too open-ended, plus it's more about manners than learning English. You might just give your friend a winning smile, for example. — FumbleFingers, Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 18:40

You could also use these answers:

I am sure it will

Or

I hope so too

"Thank you" is totally acceptable

I hope so too is rather a brusque answer that I wouldn't recommend for the type of dialog explained in the OP.

I thought he asked for answers for a more general context I agree that it rather a brusque answer when you're talking to a seatmate
