Qué = what
Cuál = which
"que" and "cual" (no accent marks) are different words.

I think of it like this:
in English we inly use 'which' for choosing between a small number of things, eg:
What's your favourite color? What are your favourite movies? but Which coat should I wear?
I think in Spanish they use 'cual' for all of the above and 'que' for asking what something is or what someone bought, etc.

¿Qué? - when requesting information ( ¿Qué hora es? )
¿Cuál? - when requesting to choose between a selection or make a choice (¿ Cuál prefieres llevar contigo?)

Con "que" preguntamos el significado y con "cual" preguntamos el nombre, algunos ejemplos correctos son:
Con que...
Que es pluriculturalidad?
Que estamos haciendo?
Que te gustaria cenar?
Con cual....
Cual es tu nombre?
Cual de los dos prefieres?
A cual actor te refieres?
Cual es la diferencia?
