Props, short for Propers, -Don't forget that the entire word "propers" is used in the song "Respect", written by Otis Redding and most famously recorded by Aretha Franklin in 1967. At least, I think it is ("all I'm askin' in return honey is to give me my propers when I get home")-

A "prop" is any item, either hand held or free standing, that is not nailed down on a theatrical or film set.
The term originates from the basic inventory of the company being the "property" of the owner.
General use is to give authenticity to a performance by adding a prop to give the actor "business". Interacting with a brush, sitting at a dressing table in a scene sets up the "suspension of disbelief" along with sets and costuming.

"No props" is a fairly new saying. It is a shorter way of saying "No problem/s" in a manner that expresses a willingness to help. It is not a very formal saying and is often used between casual friends.
Guy 1: Hey dude thanks for helping me move that junk in to storage.
Guy 2: No props man.
Guy 1 and Guy 2 High five.
