Best Answer
The normal way is How important is it?
A good rule is: If you are asking about a quality, say How. (Another way to think of it is, if you could answer with very, use how.)
If you are asking about an amount of a mass noun, say How much.
If you are asking about the number of a countable thing, say How many.
Because important is a quality, the correct way to say it is How important is it?
