Hi,


Try using Contains instead of Equals for the operator?  I'm not sure if Process Builder recognizes the 15 digit or 18 digit SFDC IDs.

Please mark this as the best solution if it helps.

trigger updateowner on Contact(after insert)
{
     Contact c=[SELECT OwnerId FROM Contact WHERE Id IN: Trigger.new LIMIT 1];
     Account a=[SELECT OwnerId,Name FROM Account WHERE Id=:c.AccountId];
     c.OwnerId=a.OwnerId;
     update c;
}

Give this a try :p
