you can use 'yea' when you Talk with your friends or People who are younger than you.
'yes' Is more Formel. a word you can use infront of strangers

Yea is not a word, it is influenced by speech/colloquialism so it is informal and used with friends or people close to you. (or everyday speech in general)
"Yes" is formal and would be a proper response.
