By far the more used expression of the two is "pay attention", which means to be alert to what someone is saying or doing, to be very observant. To "give attention" is more like being respectful to someone, letting them speak, listening to them, listening to their opinions. Sometimes, though, "give attention" is just a much less used way of saying "pay attention".
