Is every ideal of Quotient Ring a PID?
$begingroup$
We are given a principal ideal domain $R$ and an ideal of this domain, $I$. Is it true that every proper ideal of $displaystylefrac{R}{I}$ a principal ideal domain ?
I have proven that every proper ideal, say, $overline{K}$ of $displaystylefrac{R}{I}$ is an ideal generated by an element of the $displaystylefrac{R}{I}$. Is it true that $overline{K}$ is an integral domain ?

No, in general $K$ can have zero divisors, and it will not always have an identity.
For example: $mathbb Z/12mathbb Z$ and its ideal $6mathbb Z/12mathbb Z$ are examples for both.
$K$ will not have zero divisors if $I$ is prime, but in a PID this would mean that $I={0}$ or else a maximal ideal, which are both pretty uninteresting cases.
The best you can say is, as you concluded, that $R/I$ is always a principal ideal ring.

Consider $mathbb{Z}$ and $p,q,r$, three prime integers. $mathbb{Z}/pqrmathbb{Z}$ is isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}/ptimesmathbb{Z}/qtimes mathbb{Z}/r$. $mathbb{Z}/ptimesmathbb{Z}/qtimes 0$ is a proper ideal of $mathbb{Z}/ptimesmathbb{Z}/qtimes mathbb{Z}/r$ and is not integral.
